Where do I find my A number?

[jenni and sami 0]

This may be a really stupid question, so apologies if so, but where do I find my A number, do I even have an A number, and what is an A number anyway?

I am in the process of filling out forms for AP, EAD and AoS and there is a space for the A number. I note on the example form for the I-131 on this site that it does have the A number filled out for a K1, which is what I am, but I can't find reference to an A number in my visa, or my I-94. If anyone can advise, I'd be very grateful.

Thanks.

Sami

Sorry - another stupid question. Which number on my K1 visa is the Visa number? There is a control number in the top right, which is 14 digits long, and starts with 2006, and then there is a number in red in the bottom right of the visa which is 8 digits long, with no label for it.

I can't understand if their forms ask for the nonimmigrant visa number, why they would not then use the same term on the actual visa - it would seem to make sense to me. Oh well...

Thanks again.

Sami,

I can answer your second question with certainty; the visa number is the number in Red on your visa.

as for the first question, i am not sure, in my case i did not have an A# because i was here on a student visa. But basically if you have ever filed any paperwork with U.S. immigration, you could have found ur A# on whatever papers they had given you.

someone else can answer this question for you with correct information.

good luck with all
