I feel like this is a silly question, but bear with me please :)

I will be a citizen (barring disaster) on September 22. That day I plan on mailing out the I-129F application for my husband. I've seen posts that the G-235A isn't a big deal -- but still ... I don't want to omit the number or write none if I'm still considered as having the number.

Thanks for any input - I know there are others out there who have filed k-3 after becoming citizens.

thanks again,

sandy.

Hm. Well I don't know the answer about the number, but I do believe you have to submit a copy of your naturalization certificiate (or whatever the heck it is they give you) to prove citizenship. Do they give it to you that day or do you have to wait for it to arrive - like a person waits on the greencard?

My sister naturalized last year, and she got her certificate on the day of the ceremony. So I'm hoping for the same - otherwise I will clearly have to wait until I get it.

I am a naturalized US citizen and I have the same A number that I had in my green card. So yes, you will like to have the A number on your naturalizatino certificate too. In that case, you will put your A number on G-325A and on I-130+I-129F.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

Yep, a note to all naturalized citizens, the 'A' number stays with you for life. :blink: So make sure you enter it in which ever form is asking for it. It is confusing because even though you are a US citizen you are being referenced with an 'A' (Alien) number. :wacko:

It doesnt make much sense but thats what needs to be done so enter it any/all forms that asks for a A number.
