Hello All!

I came to the US as a green card holder when I was 14 and finally got my citizenship this year. At the moment, I am completing the I-130 petition for my lovely husband. The I-130, I-485 and G-325A forms are asking for my Alien Registration Number. I know this could be found on my green card but I have spent days already looking for it but no luck. I must've misplaced it when I moved in with him.

Could anyone tell me if A# is really important to put even though I'm already a citizen?

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Did you try looking on your naturalization certificate? it should be on there.

You also need to include the number of your naturalization certificate and a copy of it with the petition.

Your I-129f was approved in 5 days from your NOA1 date.

Your interview took 67 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

AOS was approved in 2 months and 8 days without interview.

ROC was approved in 3 months and 2 days without interview.

I am a Citizen of the United States of America. 04/16/13

If you're a citizen your A# no longer applies. It would be relevant if you were still a LPR. Your application is based on your being a US citizen.

I do have my certificate of naturalization and will submit a copy of it but I wasn't sure if the number on this is the same as my Alien Registration # on my green card.

If it's the same number, then I guess I have no problem then. Sorry for the ignorant question as my husband and I doesn't have any legal advice.

If you're a citizen your A# no longer applies. It would be relevant if you were still a LPR. Your application is based on your being a US citizen.

So if my A# doesn't apply anymore, should I just put N/A on the A# box?

Either that or a copy of the (US) passport, so long as it is still valid should be able to prove citizenship.

If they are requesting it, I would provide it. I ran into the same problem when I was filing the K-1 visa for my hobby. I made an appointment via the infoPass and they were able to look it up and provide both my A- number and the number for my naturalization( which I still can't find).

Good Luck!

You are already a US Citizen, not an Alien. You do not need the A# - leave it blank.

Actually, she should put it. The A# stays with the person even after they are naturalized (even though they are no longer an alien). Putting it will help USCIS locate the former alien's A file, which will contain all of her information regarding naturalization. USCIS doesn't throw out the A file when you're naturalized.

It should be on your naturalization certificate. The certificate has two numbers, your A# and your Certificate number, and putting them will help USCIS confirm your citizenship (in addition to including a copy of the certificate).

Actually, she should put it. The A# stays with the person even after they are naturalized (even though they are no longer an alien). Putting it will help USCIS locate the former alien's A file, which will contain all of her information regarding naturalization. USCIS doesn't throw out the A file when you're naturalized.

It should be on your naturalization certificate. The certificate has two numbers, your A# and your Certificate number, and putting them will help USCIS confirm your citizenship (in addition to including a copy of the certificate).

I was searching for need for naturalization certificate and this came up.

My questions:

My wife is USC and have US passport. She was unable to locate her naturalization certificate. :bonk:

For I-130, whether she need to provide copy of naturalization certificate (have to ?) OR copy of US passport will do?

Where we can locate her A#, if needed?

How we can obtain copy of naturalization certificate for her?

Thank You !
