I believe someone assigned two (2) alien numbers (A #) to OP at some point in time. Of course, this needs to be resolved first and one of the numbers revoked before they will move ahead with naturalization.

Wife was only assigned one alien number during her AOS, never was one of our problems. A fellow here, I recall applied for AOS, declined, but applied again later on. Think he didn't want to marry the first one, so he had two alien numbers. Believe it took the USCIS 8 months to straighten that out.

Another cause is you actually only have one alien number, but the same name as someone else, permitting the USCIS to think you have two.

Did you apply twice for the AOS or are the confusing you with someone else?

Have no access to the USCIS database, and not a hacker, but can only what key parameters they use for a alien number or a name search. They sure were sloppy when they accused my stepdaughter of a battery charge when she was 17 months old. I typed her first and last name in google and got 80,000 hits, adding her middle name cut that down to about a hundred, adding her birth date cut that down to one. A very common Latin American name she has, and lots of criminals running around with her same name.

Watched a TV episode of NCIS where a naval office working in some kind of top secret intelligence unit manage to bring his girl friend here from Cuba by hacking into the USCIS database. One quick was to get a green card if you know how to do it, LOL.

Can only wonder why they tell you to make copies of your citizen certificate, don't they keep records of that? Apparently don't keep records of all the evidence we sent in for the AOS and I-751, had to do it all over again for the N-400. Just saying without knowing, maybe they are not very good at keeping records can be the reason why you have two alien numbers. But could be lucky if an agent assigned to your case knows how to turn on a computer and find stuff. That guy that waited eight months, wasn't so lucky, but he did apply twice as I recall.

Congress guys with only a two year term aren't even set up to help with immigration problems, try your senators office instead and pick one that has an immigration help line. But I see you are having problems even explaining your dilemma here, either the USCIS made a clerical error, you applied for a green card twice, or they have your name confused with someone else. We had a similar problem with the latter, since my stepdaughter has a very common Latin American name.

Then introducing residency problems on top of this, each has to be treated individually. Of course there is always problems with delays, doesn't do any good to ###### about them, have to know what the problem/s are to come up with a solution.

i definitely did not thought that the 4 year 1 day rule would add to my dilemma,seriously, it never crossed my mind that they would still ask for evidences, that dual alien number existed because, i was on the verge of completing a green card application but my father got a heart attack during the period wherein he was asked to submit some documents, so he assumed my case was canceled already,so my mother step up to the plate filed another application for me claiming me as a son of fiancee of a us citizen so i was able to get in the united states,thats how i explained the dual alien number to myself, but OFFICIALLY, i have not gotten an explanation from USCIS as to why I have two alien numbers.

Wait so your first alien number is from a family visa application done by your father.

The second is from a k2 visa application done by your mother. You entered on a K2 visa and she was a K1? As in she was the fiancee of a US citizen?

Anyway I doubt that's the issue. You seem to indicate that you spent a lot of time outside of the US. Let us know what the decision is when you get it for anyone else in your position.

In part one of that I-485, were asked if you had an alien number, if you typed in None, you caused that problem yourself. Those forms were really difficult to fill out, had to go back to the days when my wife and stepdaughter were born. Then getting all those records going way back when.

Even the State of Illinois screwed up with typo's on my birth certificate, had to send them all kinds of evidence, I was me, but only cost me eight bucks. Quite a difference in dealing with Venezuela and Colombia for their damned typos, had to go to their court of laws with several hundred bucks under the table or would have to wait several years before they would get around to it.

Also had to give my wife the third degree, was single for seven years, could have found a guy, applied and changed her mind with that alien thing. She was honest. But with all that done and correct made the I-751 and N-400 a lot easier, ask the same old stuff again and again. But then there was record keeping, for home addresses, jobs, and travel, plus gathering more evidence we were married. Just don't get your green card and forget all that stuff, and people come here wondering why they have problems that could have been prevented.

After my wife and stepdaughter got their conditional cards, that upset me for all we went through to get those and those words, conditional and permanent kind of contradict each other. But read and studied the I-751 and N-400 at that time. Just said, oh boy, well not exactly, don't want to get kicked off this board, we have a lot of record keeping to do for the next five years.

Daughter could finally travel back to Venezuela when she turned 18, just told her, if she stays over six months, plan on staying there for the rest of your life. But after staying there a month, decided to come back home. Wasn't so hot like she remembered.
