H-1B to Marriage Based GC - Use existing A-Number?

[TerryB 0]

Hi all,

 

I'm planning on applying for a marriage based green card as my spouse just became a US Citizen.  I'm currently on H-1B and my employer had started the green card process on my behalf with the I-140 being approved earlier this year and currently awaiting the priority date to become current. 

 

I have been assigned a A-Number by USCIS as part of the GC application through my employer.  Should I provide the same A-Number when I submit my I-485 & I-130 (and other supporting forms)? I'd like to avoid any conflicts with my existing H-1B and I'm not sure if I'm suppose to leave the A-Number field blank or use the one assigned through my employment based GC process.

 

Thanks!

Yes go ahead and input the A# assigned to you . It will actually help , not hinder , your record.

Why the two greencard applications?

Always good to have a backup plan
