Alien Registration Number, a day after NOA1

[Lilay 87]

Hi everyone!

I know there's been lots of posts about this, but it was shocking for me to receive the Alien Registration Number so early!

I've just logged in to USCIS website to check my case status and it says that my Alien Registration Number was changed on 2th of April, a day after we got our NOA1.

Does this mean that things are going fast in TSC and we'll get NOA2 soon? I really hope so!

Best wishes and good luck on your case!

I really REALLY hope you're right!!

I've been researching about it and some say it's just a glitch and some say I should expect an approval soon. But it's only been a day since we got our NOA1, I don't want to get all excited about this. But it's sooo exciting!!

It means they entered some information about your case into their system. I would not expect an approval anytime soon; there are a lot of people waiting ahead of you in the queue.

I guess you're right, I'm trying not to be so hopeful about it

But I've seen some get approval in a month or two and some get it in 6 no matter how long the queue is. I'm sure there are lots of officers there looking at different cases. And I've read somewhere that getting an Alien Registration Number assigned means that an officer is looking into our case now.

Wish I could know what's exactly happening with it

All beneficiaries are assigned an A#. They did not used to provide an update when this happened. I am not sure it is linked to when someone is about to be approved.

We waited a month after ARN to receive NOA2. I wouldn't take this as an indicator that things are progressing fast!

A month is a really short time, though! I rreally hope we would get it in a month

I think they've started providing an update about it probably around in 2013. I remember some of members on VJ who were filed before my fiance - filed in August back in 2013- posted their alien registration numbers changed on USCIS website. But, it is not always a sign for an approval.

I would say, just try be a positive. But, here my experience. I had a friend (same sex K-1 visa filer) on VJ that filed I-129F almost same time with my fiance. His fiance's alien registration number was changed earlier before mine. The result? I was approved after 38 days - 2 weeks after my alien registration number was changed - and he got the approval 3 months later. The bottom line, there is no rigid conclusion that after it has been changed then approval will come right sooner. Anyhow, I hope you get approval near in the future and wish you all the best. Good luck!

I don't know what it means, But mine says it was changed on March 25th 2014. I've read into it, Some people say it can be an error and some people say that they got their NOA2 a few weeks after this

notice, So crossing my fingers for you that you'll hear something

I'm crossing my fingers for you, too, and for myself! I'm trying not to keep my hopes up, though

I've read somewhere that after an officer receives the case, he or she looks through every evidence in the file. Some need more background check and some take less time. I don't know how long it would take for them to go through our case, but hopefully not too long Thanks for the reply!

[Hiroshi 宏 64]

Yeah, I have read that somewhere as well. We didn't send a lot with ours, Just enough to make sure it is a genuine relationship and that we have meet in person 3 times within a year etc etc

That way, I'm hoping that it can lead to an early approval of some sort? I don't know. But In my mind I say that we will get approved in the 5-6 Month period, That way I don't go insane

I'll be praying for you, And please let me know if there is a change in your case, I'd love love love to hear back from you
