A #

In my H1-B visa, I have a A#. However, When I apply for I-485, I was assigned another A# in my EAD and travel document. Is that normal, or should i call to correct it?

thanks.
 
My lawyer said IT IS NOT NORMAL. Only one A # should be signed to one alien, otherwise it won't match all the appropriate files to the person.

Is that true? Did anybody have similar experience?

Thanks.
 
Not true~

My A# number is different from my other A# before 485. My case was approved with no interview.

Good Luck!
 
Its normal

My A# is different for H1 and 485. Its the same for a lot of people I know. Do not worry about it. I was worried about the same thing but it does not make a difference. What is important is to make sure that the A# on all applications after filing 485 should be the same as the A# on the 485 (EAD, AP etc).

A# Question

Hi Guys,

When the A# assigned? I mean what stage..I-140 or I-485? and how would we know? by receipt?
 
A#

powerman,

I filed my 140/485 concurrently so the A# was on both of them. I would think that the A# for the GC process is the one that will be assigned to the 140 application since that is what you will file first. This A# will then stay consistent through the end of the process.

Also the A# is on the receipt of the application.

A# assigned on 485

I actually talked to an officer over the phone about this. And she said your A# for GC would be the one assigned for 485. Your AP and EAD follow that 485's A#.

I had problem with my first AP on the way back in to US. My A# on first AP issued was my old one (I think it was H1B A#) - then I had to get in with my H1B visa instead of AP that time (Thank God! My H1B entry visa on my passport was still valid for another 2 days). :cool:
 
Thx saras

As per tsar, A# number will be assigned on I-485, and it will be found on I-485 receipt notice, can you make sure? as per your case...concurrently...do you find the A# on I-140 receipt notice also?
