A:
To locate your immigration ID number, also known as an Alien Registration Number or "A-Number", you can start by checking any previous documentation you received from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This number is usually found on any official immigration documents, such as a green card, employment authorization document (EAD), or notices from USCIS.
If you don't have access to any old documents, you can contact USCIS directly. They have a customer service center that can assist you. It's helpful to provide them with as much identifying information as possible, such as your full name, date of birth, and any other details about your case or time of detainment.
Additionally, if you were represented by an attorney during your immigration process or detainment, reaching out to them might be beneficial. They often keep records of their clients' cases and may have your A-Number on file.
In case you face difficulties or need further assistance, it might be advisable to seek help from an attorney who is experienced in immigration law. They can guide you through the process and help with any complications that might arise.
