Hi everybody,
thank you for helping in the past and I learn many usfull things on this discusions. I have one more question for you? My A# on my recepits for I-765,I-485 and on my interview letter are different. It is also different from my OPT A#Compeatly different. Is this normal? Or what could be reason for this?
Any feed back is very welcome.

OPT A#'s are in the 100,000,000 range and are only used for OPT EAD cards. I forget what the range for 'real' A#'s is, but it's different that those for OPT. The A# for my I-485 is different from that on my old OPT EAD card.

One edit... I'm surprised that your numbers on your I-765,I-485 and interview letter differ, though. You may want to go for an infopass appointment to clear this up.

One corection, My new EAD(485 based) has same No. like interview letter but why would they have different one than recepiet ones. And my new A# starts with 096-xxx-xxx and old ones with 135-xxx-xxx. Is this have something to do with type of Aplication or not? I thought that A# is unique and non-changable.???
 
I believe what happened to you is normal.

My A# on EAD (AOS based) & the one on Green Card are the same, however the number is different from the one on EAD (OPT based). I have my A# printed on every I-485 NOA but not I-765 NOA.

I had exactly the same situation. My OPT A# was 1xx-xxx-xxx and my GC A# is 09x-xxx-xxx.

Let me guess, you're Lebanese? :)
 
No I am not, I am form East Europe, but how come you thought that I am Lebanese? Is it something to do with the No. or ...?

Yeah. I thought the first three digits coded for the country of birth. I know there's a pattern but apparently it's not the one I thought I knew :)
 
When you first get the notice for I-765, it should have the A# from your OPT EAD since you must have put that in your I-765 application. But when you get the actual EAD, it should have the new GC A#. They will correct that later.
