i-130 form question

#10) on citizen side - what is the Alien registration # ?

N/A or "None".

Yodark - i become US citizen thru green card process ...is that change Dr_LHA answer ?

chojna,

Yes, it does.

And I'm not sorry if my repetitiveness irritates anyone but this does illustrate why I suggest a consultation with an immigration attorney to review the facts of a person's case. You asked me earlier in this thread for examples. This little fact, not mentioned up until now, makes a difference in how a question is answered. Not a big difference for this fact - the USCIS is going to recognize that you are a naturalized citizen and will be able to dig up your case anyway, but having your A# may make doing that a bit easier. A lawyer will know what questions to ask to uncover any facts that may make a more significant difference.

Dammit, I was going to ask if you were a naturalised citizen as well! This is why I'm not a lawyer.

All advice I give on this board is based on the facts presented. That said, I believe that the answer I gave (i.e. "None") would not cause issues. Really that part of the form is for LPRs who are petitioning for relatives, not US citizens.

Dr_LHA,

When the facts presented are insufficient to answer the question isn't it prudent to ask for the missing information before answering?

I agree that this particular item would not cause issues (and said as much in my post).

How do you figure that this part of the form is for LPRs and does not apply to citizens as well?

THx for respond Yodark ...where i can find this # ? on my certicificate of naturalization or something else? im not sure

[Yodrak 7]

chojna,

I don't know where you might find it on the paperwork you might have from your naturalization or prior. I can tell you that the first digit is the letter 'A', followed by either 8 or 9 numeric digits (if 9 the first is a 0).

A naturalized citizen is no longer an alien, so why would their previous alien number be relevant to the I-130?

I'll admit I'm guessing here. I can't find any evidence to say what you should put here as a naturalized USC. However I-130 is used for LPRs to petition their relatives, so I would say that is why they ask for A#.

My husband is naturalized and his A# is on his Naturalization certificate. Therefore, I think that the A# is still valid even though they are a USC now.

I think you are right...otherwise this A# will not be on the certificate of naturalization
