I got the visa yellow sealed envelop with several paper outside. There is A-number on the paper. Will that number be my SSN number? Thank you!

No, you'll have to apply for an SSN once you get to the U.S. Your A number is your alien registration number, through the Dept. of Homeland Security.

Thank you.

Is that Green card number??

I'll let someone with more green card knowledge answer this, to be sure, but I do think your A number will be on your green card, yes.

Yes your A# is on your greencard....

'twould be nice if they did use A# for SSN (or in the case of Canucks, port over the SIN maybe--of course, I guess that might cause lots of issues as there is high chance of porting a duplicate).
