Alien Registration Number needed?

[sumdesi 3]

Hello VJers!

I am in the midst of preparing the I-485 Form, which I will file once I marry my Fiance who is here with me in the US on the K-1 visa .

I have been following the example I-485 form on VJ, but I am confused about one part. The example form has the A-Number for the Fiance filled out in Part 1 (albeit with a fake number). But I can't find in any of my Fiance's documents where she has received an A#. Do K-1 visa holders receive an A#? If so, where would the number be located?

[NikLR 13,232]

yes all k1 visa holders get an A# , it should be on the NOA2 I think?

[Ilovemyman 147]

Yes it is in the noa2

In the noa2 there is a beneficiary number

The A# is on the NOA2 approval notice from the I-129F. It is near the beneficiary's name.

~ Moved from K-1 Process to AOS from Family Based Visas - topic is AOS, not K-1 ~

Will be on NOA2 and also on the K1 visa itself where it says annotation.

wow thanks guys! I found the A# on the NOA2 like everyone said.

Nobbie, the A# is not on the K-1 Visa though. Where it says annotation, it has our I-129F petition case number.

the A # is also on the visa, just above the petitioner name if memory serves.

That's the same place that Nobbie had mentioned where the A# would be. However, my Fiancee's K-1 Visa does not contain the A# under the Annotation section/above the petitioner's name. In fact, I looked through the whole visa and can't find the A# anywhere on the visa itself now. It has the case number for the I-129F petition that we had filed above the petitioner's name.

Maybe things have changed now.

I just checked my wife's visa and the A# is underneath the petitioner's name and address info.

Key wording on the I-485 regarding the A# or SSN is = (if any), so if you don't know it, don't worry about it, by the time the GC or EAD arrive there will be an A#.

It's often, but not always, on the visa, but it should always be on the I-129F approval notice.

Not all countries print the visa with the A# on it. Find it on the NOA2, where it is found for everyone.
