Thank you. Helpful to know you had the same issue. Do you remember how long it took for the updated NOA with the A# to show up after the first one? Btw I checked my parents' case status online, and it says they're both scheduled for biometric. I'm hoping the NOA notification for biometrics might have the A# when it shows up in the mail.

Thank you, this is super helpful. An A# is what they keep asking for, but I'll see if the receipt notice alone works.

Yes, I know that. But aren't you supposed to get an A# when you *apply* for a green card? And as it happens they need this number to buy insurance from Covered CA as an applicant for AOS (a valid category).

We just received NOA1s for my parents' AOS application: I got an NOA for each of their I-130 petitions and they each got an NOA for their I-485 applications. They're both adjusting from a tourist visa. The receipt date & priority date (for all petitions) are 11/25/2022 and the notice date is 11/29/2022. Each form has a receipt number that starts with IOE. The notice type says "Receipt" and the case type for the I-485 petitions says "I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status." The preference classification is "Immediate Relative of US citizen." Unfortunately, the field for USCIS Alien Number is blank. Also, the form does not mention an online access code, which is what I need to be able to access their cases online. We're in the process of getting them health insurance through Covered California, which requires their Alien #s to process their applications. And this is precisely what we don't have. Is not getting an A# common at this stage? When can we expect to receive those? Is there anything we can do to receive the A# quickly? Many thanks.
