Alien Registration Number

webinsane said:
Hi guys thanks for such a great help...


I need some help. First to see what I am talking about is on this thread:
http://www.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?p=1189309#post1189309

You need to go to http://uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/spouselive.htm and read carefully all the process.

Second:
What is my alien registration number?
Will be N/A or None. If you have questions regard the forms you can make a list of all your doubts to the Customer Service and they are more than willing to answer all your questions. After your spouse file your I-130 Petition for Alien Relative she will received a Notice of Action that is the receipt from USCIS saying that they received your form and there you will find your Alien Number that they asign to you. Then you can file for an immigrant visa K-3. The rest is explained in the link that I provided.

I had student visa and I finished college so that is gone, but alien registration number???
see above.

By the way I hate to be called damn alien it is very harsh word. Don't you think?[/QUOTE
I never heard about "damn alien". Alien is the word use by USCIS and the DHS to describe a person, a foreigner that is not a citizen or is not a resident or is still not granted a legal status. As a student you were an international student, as a visitor you are a nonimmigrant, as an alien granted permission to stay and live in the US you are an immigrant.

Quick correction:

Unless one becomes naturalized, as a legal permanent resident the person is referred to as a resident alien. As a non-immigrant legal status person, such as, student, worker, etc they refere the person as to be a "non-resident alien" . Personally I dont like the terminology too, but this is how they call a foreigner!

Its not always that the workers are "non-resident aliens". If you want to determine the your status as resident or non-resident alien for tax purpose, visit http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=133628,00.html


I guess this would help.

Thank You,

Thank You,

What you are referring to is for TAX purposes and is IRS related. What this forum is all about is for immigration purposes and INS-related. A non-resident alien can become a resident alien only for tax purposes. However, that does not give the individual any immigration status change.

Anyways, Thanks for the comments.
