Hey everyone,

 

I have filed I130 for both of my parents to come live with me in the U.S.A on 01/10/17. I have received the I-797 notice of action for each on 08/19/17 that says they have been approved abd trasnferred to NVC!! 😀 however one of them has an Alien # and the other doesn't. Does anyone know why this must be? 

 

Thanks,

It doesn't really matter, they will get an alien number on their visa which may or may not be the same as the one on the I-130 approval.  Has one of them had a tourist or other visa before?

One of them had a tourist visa (this is the one who got the A number) and the other one visited once with their Italian passport.

That's why then.  If they'd never had an A# assigned before, then they wouldn't now.  I never had one until my visa was granted.
