Hi VJ,

I am finally preparing the petition to remove conditions for my husband and was wondering. Does he have an alien registration number in addition to his social security number? What's the difference? He for sure has a social security number that I can put down but I am not sure if he has an A number as well and if that also needs to go on the petition. If so, where can I find it?

I hope this helps!

Edited by Enigma23

~ Jan ??,2013 ~ Service Center ~ Vermont I-129F Packet sent

NOTE: Actual sent date unknown due to lawyer negligence - I delivered ALLForms and PAID Lawyer on Nov 7, 2012 - Lawyer kept saying he sent the packet and USCIS must have lost it. When in reality he failed to send the package and only a new copy to USCIS after I made a legal written demand giving him 10 days to perform or return ALL monies paid to him, due to "non-performance".

(IMO it's better to save your money for visits to or from your Fiancé and just fill it out yourself using the K-1 Guide on VJ and Senior Members... They Rock!!!)

Hi VJ,

I am finally preparing the petition to remove conditions for my husband and was wondering. Does he have an alien registration number in addition to his social security number? What's the difference? He for sure has a social security number that I can put down but I am not sure if he has an A number as well and if that also needs to go on the petition. If so, where can I find it?

To answer your other question as to what the difference is. The SSN is issued by the Department of the Treasury and the Social Security Administration as an ID number for handling your payments into and out of the social security system. It is also used by the IRS for paying income taxes. Several other entities have deceived that it makes for a good ID number and thus they use it too--banks, health insurance, etc.

The A# is your alien registration number assigned by the Department of Homeland Security by the USCIS. It is used to identify your immigration file if you have immigrated to the US. Natural born USC do not have an A#, all others that have gone thru and had to deal with the USCIS do have an A#. For any document you send to the USCIS the A# is much more important than your SSN.

Dave
