Hi Folks, I have a question about the A#. My wife currently holds a tourist visa and I'm pretty sure there's no A# in there and thus so far in our I-130 I have an 'N/A' listed for line item C-10 (Alien Registration Number). However, my wife was issued a K1 visa in October of 2005 and I'd bet that because of that previous visa approval she was assigned an A# at that time. So the issue is, we never saw or even touched that visa since we left Juarez before we even knew the end result of the petition and I have no idea what her A# would be (assuming she has one).

Is this going to be a problem? I do have an appendix page included with my petition explaining that I previously filed an I-129F petition for her and what happened with that situation. So there's that. Should I just leave that line as 'N/A' like I have now, or is there some other way to find out what her A# is? Maybe she'll just get a new A# for the IR-1?

Timeline:

02/04/2004 - A young Zinker arrives in Mexico to study Spanish and the dating game begins

2004--2005 - Many subsequent visits to Mx ensue to be with my love; engaged in March 2005!

04/??/2005 - I-129F is filed from within the US

06/09/2005 - Zinker moves to Mexico

09/??/2005 - I-129F is approved

10/15/2005 - Interview in Cd. Juarez and subsequently approved for a K1 Visa!..But visa is left in Juarez

10/17/2005 - Due to unexpected pregnancy and a job offer in Mx - we decide not to pursue the visa and it expires :(

01/04/2006 - Married in Mexico

10/09/2011 - Two children later and a comfortable life in Mexico... Preparing to file I-130 in December 2011. Stay Tuned!

Depending how far the K-1 went then she would have an A#. You could probably find out by calling or making an infopass appointment. N/A does not really suit the question because if she was issued a visa or the K-1 petition was approved (A# is on the petition approval notice) then she does have an A# and the question would be applicable since she has a number.

Thanks Inky. But who should I call? Ciudad Juarez? USCIS?

Well bummer. After going back and fourth between USCIS and Dept of State, USCIS told me that the only way to obatin the A# would be to schedule an infopass appt with USCIS since they couldn't give the number over the phone. So I will probably go ahead and do that while in the states next month. But again, I haven't really gotten any feedback (even from USCIS) about how consequential this is and if it could even be a big deal. Do you think it's really that important to obtain the previous / current A#? I'm just wondering if maybe she would just get a new A# with my filing the I-130 and that this is overthinking / overworking something simple and inconsequential.

Or you just write: UNKNOWN.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

That's a thought :)

I'll see if I can make the infopass thing happen. If not, I'll probably go with this. Thanks!
