question regarding I-129f, question 8b.

[n1ki 0]

hey everyone

first of, i'm pretty sure you've answered this million times, and i spent the past one hour in looking for the answer, but it turned out it's not that easy to find it. so anyway, here's my question:

i'm US Citizen through naturalization, and filing for my fioncee.

completing I-129f, i'm not sure if i have to put the CTS Registration number (the one from my Certificate of Naturalization) in Question 8b. A# (if any), or should i just write None, as it's shown on the example, provided from VJ?

Also the same for G-325A - File Number (from petitioner).

Thanks in advance for your responses

Peace

I put "NONE" on 8b for I-129F

I put "NONE" on G-325A for file number.

tnx for both of you, for the fast response

SLDFK, i assume you were naturalized also? i mean you do have the CTS Reg Number on your Certificate, and you still didn't write it? Is that correct?

tnx

Question 8B is an anomaly. Why it's even there is a mystery to me, since only a US citizen can file an I-129F. I suppose you could put the A# you had before you became a citizen, but I would think "N/A" would be the appropriate answer, since you had an A# at one time but it's no longer relevant. Provide your certificate of naturalization number in question 10.

The G-325A is a general purpose form, used by US citizens, LPR's, and aliens. Put "United States" in the box labeled "Citizenship/Nationality". Again, if you want you can provide the A# you had before in the box labeled "File Number", but I would still think "N/A" would be the appropriate answer.

Unless you provide a bogus alien number in either of the boxes on those two forms, I seriously doubt you'll get an RFE based on what you write in those boxes.

FWIW, a friend of mine who is a naturalized citizen put "N/A" in both of those boxes. So far, no RFE...

tnank you so much for the complete answer, Jim.

That's what i was wondering myself and had doubts. If i put the A number, i'm supposed to send a copy of my Green Card, which i already don't have. To be honest, i was surprised they even put A number on the certificate, but well..

Thanks anyway

My parents were naturalized and I acquired citizenship through my parents. I have a "certificate of citizenship". This certificate does not have a CTS Reg number but a "application no". This number starts with "A" followed by 8 digits (A12 345 678), which I assume was my A# prior to citizenship. I did not use this number in any of my forms.
