Im not quite understanding if I need to put my alien number on the forms I-130, I-485 and G-325A if I recently became a citizen?

I don't quite understand??? If you are filling out 130, 485 and 325a how can you be a citizen. You have to be living in the US for 3 years before you can become a citizen. Pretty sure I read that right. And yes if forms ask for Alien number then you put it in from your visa that you have.

OP is the petitioner, just became a US citizen. Filing I-130 and I-485 for spouse.

The I-130 is initiated by the petitioner...on section B, question number 13, you indicate that you received US citizenship through naturalization (tick the box) then write your certificate number, date and place of issue.

Not sure how to answer you on the G-325A. The I-485 contains information about the non-US citizen spouse. The only time you are mentioned is in Part 3B.

In neither the I-485 nor the G-325A, there is no provision for the citizenship/naturalization number...

If I were to guess, you still write your A-number in the spaces provided, and USCIS will tie them in with your naturalization certificate (a copy of which you will attach to your I-130).

You are correct.

Thanks!!!

Just because you become a US citizen doesn't mean your Alien Number goes away. That number you were assigned stays with you for rest of your life. So when asked, especially by a federal employee or form, you should specify it. If you look at your citizenship certificate, you will find the alien number is prominently displayed.

So when asked on I130 form for your alien number, fill it in. When asked on your G325A, also fill it in.

I think you will find in the future you should ALWAYS put your A#

when it's asked for.

Once you become a US citizen, you are not an alien anymore. US citizens do not have alien numbers. PERIOD.

Wrong! You alien number is yours, forever. That's why it's on your citizenship certificate. For immigration purposes, you'll be asked for it. If you don't give it out, you'll get an RFE for incomplete info. Then your case will be delayed. So if you have ever had an alien number, you'd better give it on the form.

If one is a natural citizen, A# will not have. My both children do not have A#.

But if you are naturalized citizen, yes A# will be part of your record until the death.

If you had been a prisoner in a NAZI concentration camp, you will have your inmate number tattooed on your forearm for life as well. Still, you do not need to provide it anymore, not when applying for a visa, nor when registering to vote. But let me illustrate this better:

Interview:

I.O. Bob:

Applicant, I see on your application that you provided an alien number. On the same application you marked "US citizen." You can't be an alien and a US citizen at the same time, now, can you?

Applicant:

No, Sir, but I was an alien . . .

I.O. Bob (interrrupts):

. . . an my daughter was a virgin until she was gang-raped by a bunch of &*%$@. What's your point? The application asks for your current status, and you are obviously stupid or you are trying to sabotage your own application. So what is it? Are you stupid, or are you trying to derail your own AOS application?

Applicant:

No, Sir, I just . . .

I.O. Bob (interrupts again):

. . . you are just what? Incapable to answer a simple question? Well, this isn't kosher to me. I'm going to issue an RFE here. We need to find out what's going on with your clashing claims of being an alien and a citizen at the same time. Now get the #### out of my office!

The United States does not classify 1st and 2nd degree citizens (like Mexico does). Therefore, a citizen does not have an alien number. No citizen does have an alien number. A citizen can have had an alien number, or could have been born with a different gender, but non of this matters anymore when it comes to figure out if the petitioning person is a US citizen or "ONLY" a LPR. And that's why they ask that question in the first, second, and third place. It's not because they want to know if someone is a natural born citizen or a naturalized citizen. They NEED to know if the petitioner is a USC or an LPR because it has a substantial bearing on the process itself.
