Nope. Unless you have previously had a residency visa you won’t have an A number 

Alien registration number

A number is an alien registration number, meant just for immigrants and it's typically found on their visas. Non immigrant cisas like b1/b2 do not have alien numbers.

If you entered the passport numbers then you ignore the travel document

Hello,

For the employment history of the beneficiary, he was self-employed.  The name of his company is his name.  Should this information be entered as the Name of Employer?

For Chile, they use a postal code not a zipcode.  So no need to fill out the zipcode, correct?

Correct.   Use this logic when filling out the form.  They will provide boxes that don't apply.  If it doesn't apply it doesn't apply

I divorced in 1998.  Is my marital status considered single or divorced?  On my tax return, I always do single but I just want to be sure which is appropriate for the fiance petition.

Divorced.   Tax filing status is not applicable

Tax filing status and marital status are separate entities.

Hello,

For the employment history of the beneficiary, he was self-employed.  The name of his company is his name.  Should this information be entered as the Name of Employer? Please advise how a self-employed beneficiary should fill out the work history part.  Also, his work address would be his home address and the name of the company is his name.  IS this a problem since he does not have a work history outside with a company; only his company.  Please advise.  Thanks!
