Hi everyone (yet again),
Ooops, I just made a mistake on our G-325A that we're enclosing with the I-129F packet. I intended to write "UNKNOWN" where it asks for A-Number/File Number, as advised in a previous post today. Instead, I accidentally put "NONE!" The harder I concentrate on doing things correctly, the more I mess up...

Is it ok to use correction fluid (White-Out) to correct this error? I would normally just re-print the form and start over, but we don't have a printer at home and it's quite an ordeal getting to the place where we print. This application is important to us, so obviously, we'll go re-print and start again if we need to...but would it hurt to cut a teensy corner by using correction fluid? I imagine what the USCIS cares about most is that the information is there and that it's legible.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

NOOO!!! , don't ever use correction fluid

metinspain,

Leave the 'none' answer alone. The anecdotal evidence is that it's a not critical question on a not critical form.

In general, when you make a mistake and want to correct it rather than start over, put a line through the incorrect answer and write in the correct answer above or below so that the original answer is still visible. If you obscure the original answer, the person reviewing the form may wonder what used to be there and may seek to satisfy their curiosity by issuing an RFE.

Correction fluid is definitely not acceptable on any of your Immigration forms.
You will need to fill out a whole new form.

I thought it was acceptable to write "None" or "N/A" for that question I ****ing triple checked everything 1984729347975479375497 times to make sure everything was correct, too.

I would leave the NONE there and alone.. That is what i did cos at this stage you really don't have an A number yet.

NONE is the right answer.

Leave it alone and don't white out anything.

i would redo that particular page

Ok, so based on the replies here, we have:

- 2 votes for leaving it alone, and keeping "NONE"
- 2 votes for re-doing the form
- unanimous agreement that correction fluid is a no-no! (guess that answers THAT question!)

Combine this advice from another post suggesting we write "UNKNOWN" in the A-Number section, and I'm still confused...

I am inclined to go with the advice of those who suggest leaving it alone (saying "NONE"). Since the NOA-1 doesn't tell me what our A-Number is, then they can't expect me to know we've been assigned one, and can't possibly fault us for still thinking we don't have one! Right? Plus, if we leave it as is, that will save me another trip to print more forms.

If anyone else out there has input on this subject, we'll keep checking back!

Thanks, everyone.




You're probably fine based on what Yodrak and others are saying. Didn't mean to cause any worry!

Just White it out. Make the correction and then photocopy it.

Just redo the form. And use a computer fillable one so you don't have to fill everything 4 times.

I put NONE on it. I had no problem with it

Ours said NONE and it was done by a professional.

Well, the jury is "in"...I'm going to put NONE! Seems the best thing to do, and I see that the Example Forms on this site list it that way, too.

Thanks!

Ditto - cross our the mistake and write in the correct information

Ok, Goodluck on the rest of the process


Sheila

lol correction fluid i have no comment

Oh crap. I had to, because I tried drawing a line through the employment history section so that I could attach a separate sheet, because everyone was saying that you had to use the EXACT form that Montreal sent you, no copies or printouts or anything like that.

How bad is this?

I used white out on my I-134 and had zero problems.

take a look at this thread for other thoughts/opinions: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...c=51065&hl=

Don't you just love it?

On N/A vs NONE. Look at it this way. If they you a question about children and you have no children the correct answer is none. If they ask you about prior spouses and you have never been married, the correct answer is...none. You see the QUESTION is very applicable. The correct reply is none.

Personally, I feel like they should make the problem go away by rephrasing the questions.

Finally, why not invest in a printer? They are very inexpensive.

A very old post, but as long as someone else has revived the thread,

At this stage - filing an I-129f for a spouse - one really does have an A number. It was assigned when the I-130 was received by the USCIS.

But, as I posted last time in this thread, an unimportant bit of information on an unimportant form. It doesn't make any difference how the question is answered. They'll find the A#.

Thanks, that's a relief!
