Alien Registration Number

[JulMar 0]

Hello everybody! I sent my I-129F petition in the beginning of October and upon checking that petition status online it states: On October 14, 2014, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E).

However, I have not received a number and I'm just wondering whether I will be receiving it with my NOA2 since I've already received my NOA1 and it was not included.

Thanks in advance! May you all have a great day!

Yes, you will receive the ARN on your second I-797 (NOA2). Sometimes USCIS will change an ARN twice, that's why you won't find it on the NOA1. Many petitioners see the change a week or two after receiving their NOA1, others get it much later right before approval. Some other folks get it twice - right after NOA1 and right before approval or somewhere in between.

At the very least it is a "touch" on your file.

Good luck!

Yep, you should see the new Alien Registration Number (A#) above the beneficiary's name on the I-129F Visa Petition approval form (NOA2).

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Thank you for explaining that! I was a little confused! Right now with all this waiting, at least knowing that there is movement with my petition even in the slightest bit helps.

Thanks again!

Thank you for clearing that up!

HI everyone. I have also receive a message like this: On October 14, 2014, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) but until now still no news from the USCIS. I wonder what this message means. Please help. Its driving me insane...

Never hijack someone elses thread.

I don't know why it's "driving you insane"...

It's the beneficiarys alien number that's assigned to the case so they know in the system who it is. That's all.

You're still waiting for your NOA2, nothing has changed.
