I-130 Alien Registration Number

[toothpicks 38]

Hi all,

 

I'm filing the I-130 for my husband. Three years ago we started the K-1 Visa, but ultimately withdrew it at the embassy stage due to the travel ban placed on certain nationalities. Now that my husband has a new nationality, we are applying again but are wondering if he was given an Alien Registration number through the K-1 visa application.

 

When the I-129F went though the NVC, we were given a number that started with "A-" Should we write this number in the I-130?

 

Thanks in advance.

Yes you guessed right, his name derails are on file... But I don't think it would have any adverse effect on your new application... Good luck

“New nationality” does not change any aspects of the scrutiny or security/background checks though.

No, but it does allow him to actually be able to get a visa instead of waiting indefinitely for a waiver as his other nationality is still blocked for entrance to the US.

 

Do you know if the A-number included from the NVC documents is his alien registration number, and if we include it?

Yes, the A number will be the same.

 

I wouldn’t be so sure that becoming a citizen of a different country will eliminate the need for a travel ban waiver, however.

We've already asked this question to the embassy, who informed us that he would not be subject to the travel ban because his second nationality is not restricted. Thanks for your concern.

I agree, dual and prior citizenship to other countries need disclosing.. you’ll still be scrutinised due to it particularly if their new citizenship is relatively new.. I’d expect a very long administrative processing time. 

 

pretty sure i read somewhere the executive order includes non-US dual nationals of banned countries... but was some time ago and could have changed.

We are disclosing everything and have been in communication with the embassy about his citizenship status. 

 

As I said above, the embassy has already informed us that he is not subject to the travel ban because the second nationality is not restricted. We are aware that there may be a long administrative processing time, thank you for your concern.
