A number

[LeAnn]

My fiencee was denyed her visa so now we are getting married, does anybody know if the A number she had before with the K-1 will it still be the same number with the I-130?

I believe it does. When you file your I-130, there will be a blank for your A#. If it were me, I would use the one previously assigned when you filed for your K-1.

 

When we filed our I-130, we left the A# blank because we were never previously assigned one. I'm sure Dan, Randy, Carl or someone else will chime in if I'm incorrect.

 

I've seem to recall reading some other posts that asked the same thing. I'll go fishing and see if I can find any referral links. Give me a little time to browse the archives. . .

 

EDIT:

 

Here you go. Yes the above information is correct. If you search for "A number" (with the quotes) I'm sure it'll yield more results. I've found the search function to be quite useful.

Thank you. When you filed the I-130, in the box asking for the A# did you write none or N/A or give old A number? Not sure what to do. We are also trying to bring her son here now on a cr 2, I wonder if he will also have a different A #?

We've had at least one person get saddled with 2 different A-numbers, but they were for the same person K-1/AOS. It took a little while for them to sort this out, since neither file was complete.

 

Yes, I would enter the same number. It may prevent some confusion at their end.

YES A# that was on I-129F NOA-2 remains her number, you use it on I-130, G-325A, I-864 etc....

 

I-130 Section B A# is for petitioner, the US Citizen filing the petition if the citizen became citizen through naturilzation.

 

I-130 Section C A# is the number issued during prior petition process the beneficiary's A#.

I will have to look at a copy to see what I put. I know for sure I did not put an A# on the I-130 and the A# that was put on my wife's IR1 visa was different than the one on the K1 application.

 

I would follow Randy's advice and put the same A# you had on the K1 application. As far as I know it did not cause any complications but I did have a long wait for the NOA2.

If a K-1 petition was previously filed an A # would be issued with the NOA-1. If the K-1 was denied and an I-130 filed later with no A # put down on the petition they would likely issue a new A #. I agree that it would probably save confusion if the original A # was put down on on the I-130.
