Alien Registration Number

[Benanza]

Hi there,

Is the A-number 8 or 9 digits? The number I found through USCIS is 8 digits but the I-864 shows 9 spaces. I think I have the right number? Is the case number the A-number?

 

Best regards,

Ben

Should now be 9 digits, A 000-000-000 it will be the green-card number.

 

 

 

The alien registration number, which the Department of Homeland Security assigns to each alien. It is an "A" followed by eight numbers. For example: A12 345 678. Some recently-issued A numbers consist of an "A" followed by nine digits. For example: A 200 345 678.

Note the 9 digit number under USCIS#

 

If you have an 8 digit number, simply put a zero as the first digit. 0##-###-###

 

Typical place to find it on I-130 or I-129F approval notice.
