I-485 Question in Guidelines section

10. Two passport-type photos (see specification) of the Non US Citizen Spouse. Write the full name and A# on the back using a soft felt tipped pen or pencil. Place in a plastic bag and label the bag "Photo of <Insert Name>". Attach the bag to a sheet of paper and place behind the G-325a.

This question confuses me. My wife and I just got married and we are getting our paperwork together to submit for her green card. When it says "write full name and A#" I'm not sure where to find the A# is it the Admission number from her I -94? Also it says "Non-US Citizen's spouse, I guess that means me? Why though I'm a US citizen why do the need photos of me or am I reading this incorrectly or perhaps a typo.

Her Alien number, or "A" number can usually be found above her name on the Form I797c Visa Petition Approval Notice (NOA2).

She is one adjusting status, she is the non-US Citizen spouse. You, as the US Citizen spouse are not adjusting status. There is no typo.

The A# (Alien Registration Number) is found on the NOA2 approval notice for the I-129F petition. The A# is needs to be listed on the AOS forms too, not just the back of the passport photo. You are the USC spouse. Your wife is the non-USC spouse, as in not a US citizen- the one applying for adjustment of status..
