No Yellow Packet + A-Number?

[Jake77 14]

Received my visa recently.

 

Did not contain a yellow packet and only had my passport.

 

Visa says:

Annotation:

212 (g) (2) (B)

PL 107-208. Child Status Protection Act.

IV DOCS IN CCD.

 

----

 

 

Questions:

1. Where's the packet?

2. Where can I find my A-Number?

You don't get a packet unless you're receiving an IV via a certain route (employment based for example). If you're a family based applicant then it's sent electronically, which is what the 'IV docs in CCD' means.

 

And your A number should be on your visa in your passport? Or you can find it on your IV handout, or other IV paperwork.

Immigrant fee PDF says the Alien Number starts with "A."

 

Google images pointing to Alien Number in visas don't start with "A."

 

I'm referring to the Registration Number in US visas ...

 

No letters - only numbers.

Same thing.

 

On my IV it is 'registration number' (9 digits), on my green card it has it as 'USCIS number' (same 9 digits but with dashes). But they're both exactly the same number as my A number, just with the letter A missing.
