What is a visa number like? I was told on the phone but I am not sure about the second to last digit,

NY-#-######

But she pronounced the second to last as "O" so is there any letter at the end of the visa number, or just numbers in that format?

After the inital two letters it's all numbers.

Thanks a lot! I just wanted to confirm.

This is why you should always differentiate 0 from O by using/asking/repeating 'zero' and putting a slash through it (as an engineer would), and asking "O as in Oscar?" when you're writing stuff down. Put a slash across "Z" too, so you know it's not a 2.

I'm not sure why it matters. Write down O or 0. The person giving you the visa will understand.

Just like when writing down a telephone number, I don't need to ask "O" or zero.

Have them email it, not just say it over the phone.
