Alien Registration Number

[GermanCanadian89 7]

My interview was a few weeks ago. I was approved but, given certian circumstances, I needed to mail the consulate additional information.

Now, with that being said, on the form that I need to mail in, it's asking me for an alien registration number. I've called, emailed, etc and no one can give me a straight answer. I've seen on visa journey that the alien number was given on the NOA but, then some other research said with the NOA having an experiation date that, it wouldn't be vaild.

Should I use that A#? Or would my best bet be to leave it blank?

The longer I hold on to these forms, the longer I wait for my passport to be mailed back. And we're kind of in a hurry since, I am pregnant and due in a few weeks. Any help would be appreciative! Thank you!

Your A# is just like a SSN in that it is now yours for life. It identifies your immigration file with the USCIS. Including it will help them find you file. For us the only place we found the A# was on the NOA2 for the K-1. Of course now it is on her GC. If you have an A#, include it.

Good luck,

Dave

Your A# will always be your A# for life. You can find this on your NOA2, just right above beneficiary (your) name.

I thought that was the number but, I wasn't sure since that form expires. Thank you!

You're welcome. This number will also appear on your visa and GC. Cheers!

The petition approval expires in 4 months, but can be, and often is extended by the consulates. It is just a time frame in which you are to have the visa interview scheduled. The information on the NOA2 petition approval does not expire. The A# will be used from now on for all forms you fill out for immigration purposes and a copy of that NOA2 approval notice is required when filing for AOS after you are married.
