DOS number and verify my identity

[Asackerm 4]

I’m trying to verify my husband’s identity through the USCIS tool so we can do a myeverify. 
 

However this requires a DOS number, which is not easy to find for people who entered the US on a K-1 visa. 
 

I THINK I finally found it on the print out for his interview back in Argentina. However, when I use it in conjunction with his A number (applicant number) it says it’s not correct, even after making sure I’m using the correct number of digits for the DOS number. 
 

Can anyone shed light on this? Am I using the wrong number for DOS? I’ve checked his visa, all his paperwork that’s been sent and I cannot find this if that isn’t the number.

Yep, DOS case ID and IV case number are the same thing.

So I’m wondering if we should be concerned the site keeps saying it’s not correct? Or if the system is always having issues.

Is the USCIS account under his name? If not try making a new account for him from scratch.

• Your A-Number is identified as the Registration Number on your visa stamp. If your A-Number is fewer than 9 digits, insert a zero after the “A” and before the first digit to create a 9-digit number. For example, “A12345678” would become “A012345678.”
• Your DOS Case ID is identified as the IV Case Number on your visa stamp. However, please note the IV Case Number has two additional numbers at the end, such as 01 or 02. When entering the IV Case Number as the DOS Case ID, do not include the last two numbers. For example, if your IV Case Number is “ABC1234567801,” you would enter your DOS Case ID as “ABC12345678” (do not include the “01”).

so this is incorrect for K-1 visas which is what’s frustrating. They do not get this information printed on their visas.

This actually a really good suggestion, thank you. Yes the account is under my name. I’ll see if I can do that.

He needs his own USCIS account

I went to create my husband his own USCISaccount... except the account never asks you who you are.  I'm not sure if you can use the "confirm your identity" section before you're issued a green card.  we're still in the AOS process.

[Asackerm 4]

I found the answer!  I'm leaving it here in case anyone else searches for the same question.  I had to call USCIS twice to get someone that actually knew.

 

For K-1 Visas, you will NOT be assigned a DOS Case Number until you get a green card.  Therefore the Verifyme and mye-verify through your USCIS account are not able to be accessed by K-1 Visa holders, even after receiving your EAD card.
