A number - filing for AOS after entry with K1

[claudi1176 2]

...yet another question. I entered with K1 about 3 months ago and we got married a couple of weeks ago. I am trying to fill out the paperwork for AOS. Do I have a A number??? I cannot find it on NOA or K1 visa?? Do K1 visa holders have an A number?

THANK YOU!!!

If you can't find an A number on the paperwork you were given (also known as an Alien Registration Number), then you may not have one yet. Leave it blank.

You'll have one soon enough.

Regards,

Bill

Yes, my wife's (former K1) A# was first disclosed on the visa petition approval notice (NOA2). It was printed above her name.

I do have NOA1, NOA2, K1 visa....however, cannot find an A number anywhere. Even NOA2 only has a receipt number. So, I guess, I do just leave it blank. Thank you all.

Check the NOA2 (I-797C petition approval) again and look in the beneficiary box. There should be a 9 digit number that starts with "A" and looks like AXXX XXX XXX. That is the only place my wife's A# appeared.

Good Luck,

Dave

All K-1 entrants have an A# already assigned. Yes, it should be on the I-129F approval notice near the beneficiary's name. If not, then you are a rare exception like my husband was. He asked at his POE and the CBP officer was kind enough to write it down for him.

If you want to bother, you could call and ask to speak to a tier 2 immigration officer and let them know you were not informed of your A# and need it to file for AOS. Otherwise, just leave it blank when you file.

In our case, they hand wrote the A number on the upper right section on the first page of I-129F petition that was sent to the fiancée, and it was also on the NOA2 letter.

Mine was on the visa itself where it says "annotation" in the bottom LH corner, just said xxx xxx xxx also it was on my NOA2.
