Do K-1 VISA holders have a ARN?

[HypoLoveTriangle 2]

Do K-1 VISA holders have an Alien Registration Number? I've read that it can be found on the NOA2(I-797) approval notice from the I-129F petition, but I don't know if that is for other types of VISA or the K-1 in particular. I've seen that some VISA holders don't have a ARN.

thanks

Yes they do. It is on the approval notice and on the K-1 visa itself. It will be their green card number when a green card is issued.

Thank you for your quick reply.

I am confused on a couple other things

1. Consensus says the ARN is an 8 digit number preceded by an A.

2. There is conflicting information on this website saying whether or not the ARN is the same on the I-797 Notice of Action as on the actual VISA. Lots of people are saying the number on the VISA is the VISA Number, not to be confused with the ARN given on the NOA. Which is it?

3. I have a copy of my fiance's I-797 right here in my hands.

It lists:

PETITIONER: me...

BENEFICIARY: my Fiance and above her name is this number: A111 000 111 (not actual number, but you get the idea). It is a 9-digit number preceded by an A. Not an 8-digit number.

Should this number match up with the number on the VISA?

What does it mean if it doesn't?

thanks

My wife's "A" number was on the petition approval notice, and every notice we received from USCIS during the adjustment of status process. It's also on her green card. It was NOT on the visa, however.

Non-immigrant visa holders don't have one, but immigrant and K-1 visa ones do. (correct me if I'm wrong)
