My Mother in law just arrive with her Temporary I-551 stamp on her passport. I now need to apply for I-131 for her but I can not locate the A# on the I-551 stamp. There is a registration number which is eight digits but does not start with A.

Any information is appriciated it.

first how did she get the temp I-551 in the first place

second why are you sending the I-131?

It probably hasn't been assigned yet. Wait for the card. Gotta love it, just entered the US and already filing for a re-entry permit. :rolleyes:
 
What did it say ? I-551 ?
I-551 must be obtained at POE. The one she got at consulate is immigrant visa.

It appears that's what she got. Do they actually assign the A# at the POE, or does USCIS provide that when the card is issued?
 
I have I-551 in my passport(but i got it through AOS), but there is no A# stamped on it. A# was hand written by officer next to the stamp.
Not sure when A# is assigned in CP case.
