Alien Numbers for K-2 Dependents

[duraaraa 203]

Okay, I really need help on this one:

I have a wife and four kids who came over on K1/K2 visas.

I need to find out their Alien numbers -- I think they are assigned by USCIS. Any way to find them?

Thanks!

They'll be on the visas they were issued, as circled on this handy image I found on google.

There is no registration number on the visas. Only a control number, which starts with 2013. Any other idea?

They should be on the I-129F approval notice, also.

They should be on the I-129F approval notice, also.

The dependent kids' numbers weren't listed, unfortunately.

Is there anywhere I can call to find out?

(Note to mod: I am re-opening this topic because it is unique to K visas for the alien number to exist, but not to be listed on the visa. K-2 dependents' alien numbers are not listed on the NOA2, either, so I believe this situation applies only to K-2)

Basically, I need to find my kids' alien numbers. They came on K-2 visas. The alien numbers are not listed on the NOA2 or on the visas themselves. My wife's alien number was listed on the NOA2, but not the K-2 dependents.

Is there anywhere I can find this information, or anywhere I can call?

Thanks.

Is there a number in red on their visas? I was just googling about for what the answer to this might be and found references to a red number on K2 visas (possibly in the lower right).

Also refs on here that K2s don't always get an A number (they get it later, you can put N/A until they get one): http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/370927-k2-no-alien-number/

I was told I need an alien number to get insurance benefits... so I'm a bit desperate to find it.

There is a red number on the bottom right, but it starts with an H. Could that be it?

No, it couldn't be -- it doesn't have enough digits to be an alien number. It has an H and 7 digits.

Found another post stating K2s don't seem to get A numbers: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/345003-where-is-the-alien-number-on-my-k1-visa/

Surprised you need it for insurance benefits. Can you just send in a scan of their passport info and visa, to show their legal status here (since I assume that's the real issue)?

If I recall correctly, I first noticed my stepson's (K-2) alien number (A#) on his NOA1 receipts after sending in his AOS applications.

duplicate topics merged. there's no need to start multiple topics on the same thread. this forum is the best place for answers on this subject.

I followed up on this. I confirmed with a Tier 2 officer that they do have numbers, but they can't give them to me over the phone, and I have to make an infopass appointment to get them.

If anyone can think of someone I can call who is more liberal with the information, that'd be great.
