Two Immigration Alien Numbers under my name, Case on hold!!

Hi Guys, I have an urgent question needing some guidance.

Today I have an interview at 8:30AM with my wife in San Francisco field office. The officer who interviewed us is very nice, no tricky questions, everything pretty straight forward.

Before he was ready to approve our case, he checked the system and found two immigration Alien Registration numbers under my name, suggesting that I have applied for Permanent residence before?

However, I've never filed AOS before, this's the first time I applied based on DV lottery. It's just so strange and and I have no idea why there are two green card Alien number assigned to my name. The officer said he will request the file related to that A# and won't approve my case until he see the file.

I doubt the other Alien number might belong to somebody else who share the same name and birthday with me.

I'm just wondering has any of you guys run into this kind of situation before? and how USCIS's database works? if two individuals have same name and birthday, they can't separate the records?

Since it's almost the end of September, I have a feeling that I won't have enough to finish the process. I'm so confused and don't know what to do!

Thank you so much for reading my post, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

Best Regards,
Sam

They'll likely compare face pics of both registrants.
 
I was on H1B status and never applied green card through employment before.
Maybe they messed up my file and assigned another person's Alien number to me?

did you apply for Green card through employment? if you did, there could be 2 A numbers.

As stated, they'll likely compare face photographs for both individuals.
Regarding employer-based petition, I think that the petition can be submitted without applicant's knowledge.
