Had old Greencard and A# which I returned. Applying for new I485, which number do I use?
Dear Sir,
I would like to get some advice please. I am currently working at a US university and am on a H-1B approved visa status. I was previously married to a US citizen and had the initial 2yr Permanent resident card and A# issued. We then got divorced and I returned the PR card. I am now married to another US citizen and am applying through the I485 form for adjustment of status to perm resident again. My question is if I should be using my old A# when filling in the forms or not? Should I just use my present I-94# on any forms and leave the A# blank until I am issued a new one?
Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.
Sincerely,
Orso
You returned it how? By officially surrendering the card outside the US at a consulate with form I-407?
Hi,
I returned the old card by sending it back to the local us consulate with a letter explaining the situation. i did not know about the form I-407 at that time unfortunately.
do you think that will cause issues?
Well, I figure now that theyve granted your H1B, that your old green card must have been properly cancelled.
Use the same old A# on the new forms. If they think you should get a new A#, theyll assign a new one which you will see on the I-485 receipt and EAD.
