The A- # is the alien registration number. It will be used on everything that is official like the social security nnumber. With the EAD when getting a job the A-# is filled in on an I-9.

 

I just realized the I-9 form that everyone completes is the American equivelant of your work group in China having your I.D. or criminal records. THe employer keeps the I-9 on file for every worker in case the government should request proof of right to work. Failure for the employer to have it correctly completed for each employee is $250.00 per line not complete. This can total $5,000 per employee.

 

I once was audited. The fine was for missing or not updated information on 5 papers out of 65. Things like incomplete signature and two forms not updated after documents used for employment had expired (both were born USC). We were fined $2500.00 which the investigator said was a record low for any of her audits.

 

Just added this for additional info for SOs looking to work.

There is an A # on your NOA2 also it should match the one in the passport or on the I-94

I did see the number listed under the box Beneficiary, but no reference to what it was. Just like the Government to keep you in the dark ang keep you guessing.

Thanks for the info guys.

Mike - Don't you also want to be asking which number is the visa number??

[C4Racer]

Your refering to the number on her Visa on the lower right side in red? correct?

 

I was only confused about if the A# was also refered to as the Alien registration number....

 

Thanks for checking though...

Yes, the red number is the visa number. A lot of people confuse that with the black Control number and ask which one is which (myself included). But sounds like you got it figured out!
