I-130 question (will A# cause problem?)
We filed our concurrent I-130/I-485/I-765 on July 21, 2004 at Boston. Recieved NOA on all three from NBC-Missouri with a date of July 28, 2004.
My question stems from my converstation this morning with a customer rep. from the National Cust. Service Center.
The reason I called was that on the I-130 receipt, my A# in the "Petitioner" box was mistyped.
The customer rep. got me worried though. She took the correct A# from me, but then asked why I provided the A# since I was a US Citizen.
Now, I am a US Citizen and so on the I-130 application I checked off the corresponding box, provided my naturalization # and also enclosed a copy of my naturalization certificate. There was another box on the I-130 for A# and in here I put in my A# which was from my green card, but is also on the naturalization certificate. I figured they needed this for reference purposes.
The rep. asked me to write the NBC a letter just to make sure that they process the I-130 for a US Citizen and not for a green card holder.
I did mention to her that the I-130 reciept did not have a priority date on it, which indicates that it was being processed for a US Citizen. She agreed and also mentioned that they only forward I-130's for US Citizen's to Missouri as well (which I don't quite think is true). So, she ended up by saying that "you're probably OK" but that I should still send in a letter along with a copy of the reciept and naturalization certificate.
Now, being the paranoid type, I will send in the letter.
Wanted to post to this forum to see if anyone else had similar experiences or any opinions.
Thanks in advance

Re: I-130 question (will A# cause problem?)
Doesn't one of the forms or the G-325A ask about naturalization and if you are, you provide the appropriate A#? I didn't have to complete that portion but I do recall seeing it on one of the many forms we have completed over the last 6 years.

The I-130 application asks whether you are a US Citizen, for your naturalization # and also for an A# I believe...

How is it going??
The A# for the US citizen is ONLY required if you are a naturalizated US citizen, If you were born in the US, you shouldn't have written anything on that space.
Take care!!

I guess I'm freaked out by the fact that the customer service rep asked me to write a letter clarifying that I am filing the I-130 as a US Citizen sponser of a spouse. All I wanted to have done was to correct the incorrect A# printed on my reciept.
Thanks

Thanks - I am a naturalized US citizen. I guess that is why my old A# was also printed on my naturalization certificate. I also provided it on my application.
