Question about our approval letter
 

I hope someone can help me, I have a couple of questions.

My fiance recently received our notice of approval of her petition. On the letter, about my name there was a number beginning with 'A'. We think it may be my alien registration number, but wondered if anyone could confirm this.

Also, on the form DS156 it asks for a "National Identifcation Number". The only number I can think of which is remotely like that is my national insurance number.

BTW, I come from the UK and my fiance lives in the US.

If anyone can help with these I would be most grateful. Then I can get this stuff in the post ASAP.

Hi Rick

I'm in the UK also and have submitted the packet 3 forms a week and a half ago. The 'A' number on the approval is your Alien Registration Number and on the form where it asks for National I.D. No. I wrote 'None' . I called the London Embassy last Friday and the lady I spoke to assured me that everything was in order and that they had received my forms and that I should hear about an interview date in the next 2 weeks.

Good luck!!

Your welcome Rick, I sent my forms to the Embassy 'Recorded Delivery' - you can do a trace and track for your mail on the royal mail website - just a tip for peace of mind :)

Yes, most definitely. When you enter the US on your visa, the immigration officer
should put the exact same number in your passport or on your I-94 card...check to
ENSURE that the number is THE SAME, and bring it to his attention if it is not
(because it should be). They actually put the wrong a-number in my husband's
passport and we had to get it corrected at the local INS office..the officer
commented that it was a good thing that we caught it, as he said it could have
caused problems later on.

Thanks for your help Alvena :)

I will be sure to keep and eye out for that.

I have now posted off my documents, so hopefully I should hear back from them soon (soon, of course, being a relative term).
