The Alien Registration might depend on the time period too. That one looks different than the one my ancestors had. I'd have to guess that the part Carmen posted was what was given to the immigrant. I think there's a 2 page form that is on file with the USCIS.
The article on Ancestry needs to be updated with the current USCIS info on how to order. So does my article on the Azores GenWeb site. I do have the info from Marian Smith, archivist/historian, etc with the USCIS: <<the 1940 Alien Registration Forms AR-2 are only available from the USCIS Genealogy Program, through the Chicago PO address or online at www.uscis.gov/genealogy.>> She said that the 425 I St in DC is no more. Do NOT mail things there and to change that address. Ancestry needs to do that. NOTE: Genealogists used to be able to obtain the records for no cost if it was less than 25 pages or some magic number. Now there is a fee involved.
