Same alien number

[Aianamarie329 0]

My husband has a case open over 10 years ago with his ex wife. He came on a K3 visa, he applied for his green card but his case was denied because of the co sponsor, and he wasn’t able to find a new co sponsor, and within all that she filed for divorce. And he remained here out of status. 

fast forward 

we just got the I-130 approval and our case is being sent to the NVC, but on our approval notice, he has the same alien number has he did with the first case. Is having the same alien number going to make a difference with our case processing, or where he might have to have his interview in the consular process?

Same alien number is the standard procedure.

Once you get an alien number that number is yours for life. I would say just make sure you send in your i601a ASAP and make your case strong and have him mention what happened in the letter he writes, remember i601a’s take approximately a year to process now. Nvc will take approximately 2 months for a case complete...and then it depends on what consulate how long you will be on queue for your appointment letter
