Is Having an A# a good thing?

[Mark Hewitt 0]

This has prolly been asked and already answered but i cant find out where the thread is.

So here it is

Is having an A# on the RFE a good thing and what the heck is it??

Thanks

just cause we got an RFE after not hearing things for ages

mayhem,

Having an A# is an unavoidable thing for an immigrant (although finding out what one's A# is may not always be easy.)

It's a number that the USCIS assigns to an alien to keep track of and coordinate the various cases that the alien brings to the USCIS.

I think what mayhem was asking/saying is on our RFE's that just came we have a A#.....I myself was wondering the same question to what it was.

QDilly,

Then it sounds like receiving an RFE is an easy, if undesirable, way of learning what one's A# is early on since the VSC seems to be the only SC that puts the A# on the petition Receipt Notice.

All centers assign an A#. I received mine via the IMBRA RFE also from CSC

dwarf,

Correct. But many people don't realize this because only the VSC puts the A# on the Receipt Notice. (And I've seen some reports from VSC people that their Receipt Notice did not show their A#.) Some people get all the way to the AOS application without knowing what their A# is, or even that they have one.

My RFE had a A# on it. It was from the CSC.

My NOA 1 and RFE both had the A# and is from CSC

Hey, good question. I just compared my NOA1 and the RFE and they both have an A#, but they're different. The one on the NOA1 is my actual A#,(which was assigned to me 125 billion years ago when I first moved to the US), but I'm not sure who the one on the RFE is for, since it says "Applicant/Petitioner's A#" and my fiance is the beneficiary.

Ok, I'm confusing myself

Just looked at our NOA1, there is not even a place for A#.

We got our A# on the IMBRA RFE though!

[William33 110]

I checked my NOA-1 and found the A#.

It is located in the upper right hand corner, on the beneficiary line (above her name). It is the 3rd item down from Case type and Petitioner. Behold, are the I-797C forms different? Perhaps. The other correspondence did not have the A #.

I´ll have to ask Luis to see if we have one.

As a side note:

On our original NOA1 from NSC, my fiance did receive her A#.
