Default I-94?

Everyone keeps saying their I-94 has an A # stamped on the back (for SS ans such). Greg's does not.. he has the A number in his K-1 Visa, but the I-94 just has the date stamped on the front and the the black Departure number which is NOT the A number... am I going crazy? Is everyone else crazy? Why do I keep reading that the A number is stamped on the back?

Just wondering. Thanks....

Because many people do have it. My husband's had it written under the I-94. If it isn't don't sweat it.

My I-94 didn't have one either, I can't imagine for one minute that there are different types. I guess people must be mistaking the departure number for an A #

Thanks Rete. Just a question though... when we went in to SS office, they put in the number from his I-94 (the departure number) and not his A number... could this be why he "wasn't entered in" the system. Should we go back and make them input his A number instead?

It is, of course, possible. Did you point out to them that the number they were using was not an alien registration number but a departure number.

Wouldn't hurt to try if you have the time to go to the SSA office.

The SS office photocopied my visa nd I-94 card, did they not do the same for you ?

Pittsburgh didnt write the A number on my I94 and I actually asked the officer to do so just in case.. He replied that it wasnt necessary as the Visa had the A number on it and that normally he would write it on the I94 for a K3.. Hmmm

The SSA just photocopied both I94 and Visa..

Not a problem..
