DV 2010 AOS Only

Thanks again for taking the time and effort to explain. I have a nine digit number that begins with 135 and was going to include it as a header on all of my supporting documents to ease them in finding information about me (if they needed to). But I was just unsure if doing so will confuse them (or NOT)(as I will already have another A# assigned to me based on my DV 485 as I stated earlier).

Thanks again capeolive.

I did. But in my case it was a regular A#.
But once they see the number they know
what kind of A# it is by the number of digits
and the number it starts with. We should
give them little more credit...

Let me understand it clearly. You have just one A number at this point, right?
If this is the case use it as your A number. You can call USCIS just to make sure.

You got a good number and good place. So, do not worry much. Of course do your homework...

Hi Summet,

The right thing to do is to go to InfoPass next week and to find out.

You are going to find out if your previous biometrics was accepted.
In case if not then they can schedule one over there at the FO. If it is
the case then you know what to do go to ASC for walk-in biometrics.

If your biometrics was accepted then you should ask them about the
interview letter.

Since your case number will be current next week they should not
have any excuse not to give you an interview letter. Plus there will
be only two months left for the FY.

You'll most likely be alright, you have less than a week to go...

Update on my Case!

Hi friends,

As you know I have been working to get the mistake
done with my case corrected. I have been working on
several fronts. Sometimes it gets really frustrating.

Anyways finally Philadelphia Field Office got my file back
from the National Records Center where they had sent it
by mistake. Instead they had to send it to the US Embassy
in my country.

The Embassy requested the file last week. Field Office
contacted the Embassy on how to proceed. They are trying
to do it without losing more time. There are still some
complications needed to be solved though.

My file is still here as of today but I saw that FO has been
working on it to correct the mistake. I am still hopeful.

I do not know what the outcome will be but;
I would like to thank "the good woman" the supervisor
on the first floor who has been working on the file with
"a human touch" you are my angel. Also the other good
lady on the first floor that spoke up for me. Also supervisor
on the third floor who is working on the file herself to correct
the mistake which was done by probably some negligent
person without an ill-intention. I thank you all, I hope this
mistake is corrected in timely manner so that I do not lose
my right. Thank you all, kindly...

Hi capeolive,

I am sooooo happy to see excellent news.
I'm so glad that there are some people
that try to do their job right.
I hope everything will work out for you well.
And I am sure you'll reunite your family soon.
 
Hi new one,

Yes, indeed there are always good people everywhere, here and there.

I do not know what the outcome will be. I think, I should do little more "gentle" pushing.

Thank you for sharing my happiness though. Also leongsce, i2009, summet and couple others, thank you.

I had an A-number during post-completion OPT, but now I am again a student. So, do I still need to mention in on forms/documents?

capeolive said:
Hi Izzy120,

In the past post I made it was mentioned that
"there are several A numbers that start with
different numbers and consists of different number
of digits. It also stated if A number exists it should be
used regardless."

You can call USCIS and ask them. They might know the answer...

P.S. If you have time you can try to scan my posts, may be you'll find it.

Thanks for your reply. I have only 1 A# so far (based on OPT) as I have not filed for 485 on another category. The reason I am asking is because I do not want to confuse the USCIS people with additional data (provided that they will assign me with a new A# based on my DV 485) hence having them to deal with two A#s (although for same person). I can only "assume" they will figure it out but I don't like to "assume" anything. I will definitely include it in my application forms where it is asked for but how about supporting documents (that will go to NBC plus FO: by this time I will already have 2 A#s)? Please correct me if I am wrong or terribly confused. Am I better off without the A# on supporting documents?

Thanks again.

Hello Izzy120,

I did not write my A# on all supporting documents. I DID write my Case Number with pencil in all the Forms though.

This is my take on the subject: If the form requires you to enter a A# and you have one (no matter what kind of A# you have) then enter your A# were it is requested. The USCIS will assign a new A# to your case if they need to.

I hope this answer your question!
 
Thank you so much Capeolive for the detailed process you posted.
I have an infopass on Thursday so that I can make sure they received my file from KCC, inquire why my other file is still in Missouri and remind them of the tight deadline!
 
I believe there is not many of us left in the process:
Current in August : Summet, Leongsce, Zuno and Chooti
Current in September: me
Am I forgetting anyone????

Hi Izzy120,

I do not want to cause any misunderstandings.

When A# is asked and you have one use it.
DV Case number should be written with a pencil
on upper right corner of all documents. It is not
a requirement though. In case the documents are
misplaced, they will have a greater chance to reunite.
DV case number also should be written back of the pictures...

If you were given an A# in the past you should use it in the forms.
It will be vise to write DV case number with a pencil on forms.

If CP can be an option for you it is much less complicated than AOS...
