Yes, you will have a problem. You can only have 1 A# number. You need to get it fixed ASAP.

You are wrong, Alexandra. One can have several, but they all combined in one file.
Schedule an Infopass and get the situation clarified. I would have thought that the A# they used for your GC would be the one to survive the other two A#.
Cant do it. I live quite far away and dont have any more vacation days other than for interview and oath. I was just wondering if there was someone else with same issue. If no, than thanks anyway.

No you can't have multiple A#s. Only way you can have multiple A numbers is if INS mixed up you file with somebody else. I had the same situation and I was given 2 A numbers which I had a ton of problems with down the road. My GC folder got mixed up with a woman who was in jail in Texas and when I went for my GC interview with my husband the IO freaked out and was very mad. She said you can only have on A number. I am just telling you from my experience, maybe your situation is different.
Yes, i know it from experience too. With different applications one can get different numbers. I had student visa, I-485, and I-360, and with each of them i got different A#s which were all consolidated in one file. It is a normal procedure.

Formerf1, multiple A#s is when you had several different ones throughout your immigration history.

The numbers you are referring to are not permanent A numbers. The A# number you receive when you get your green card is the only number you can have. At this stage of your immigration process you should have only on A# that is being used on all your documents (FP appointment, etc.)
Quote from your link: All other nine-digit A#'s (these actually always start with a 0) are permanent A#'s and remain permanently with you for life.

And what are you, an attorney to insist on anything at all? Lots of wierd stuff happens at USCIS
If you know everything then don't ask and there is no reason to be rude.

I had similar situation when I had my GC interview. I had 2 A#s. After my gc interview, they had to consolidate them in one file and issue a new A number so few months later I got my GC approval.
Beware: Consolidating A#s to one file is taking time.

so does that mean EAD A#s are only temporary?. After GC we should only have one A number?
In my immigration history i was issued 3 different A#s (#1, #2, #3). The files were combined into one when i got my GC. On my GC i have A#3, but on my N-400 invitiation for FP, I have A#2. I am wondering if it can cause problems in the process...
They will need to consolidate your A#s after the interview, as other applicants have reported in the past with multiple A#s. If they don't have all the A# files at the DO, it will add a delay in getting your oath until they get all the files and consolidate A#s.

Something is not right here. If you put your A#3 on N400, the FP should come with that number only. Make sure you filled your N400 with correct A# from the GC...not the old ones.
I also have 2 A#s...one from F1/OPT etc....and got a new one when GC process started... but ever since I got my GC with the latest A#..that stayed the same...I did not face any issues combining files..as it is not my problem to combine those 2 A files..it is USCIS responsibility to do it...we just need to be vigilant about it....
but in your case, the FP came with an old A#..that is not right...so check your N400 app...and make sure that GC A# and N400 application A# matches..if you did not make mistake...then you have to get with USCIS using InfoPass....and fix the mess (if it is theirs)...
