Question about typing or hand-writing on the forms

[nomore1596 0]

Here's the thing and this might be a really stupid question but I was wondering if I needed to either "re-type" my forms or simply leave it "as is." I typed up all of the information on my fiance's and my I-129f forms and on our G-325 forms but after reviewing them, I found that there were some blanks left on there that I failed to fill in while typing our information in. So I simply filled it in using a pen. Will that cause a problem or shall I not be so paranoid?? sorry for the stupid question but I'd rather hear what you guys have to say about this. Thanks in advance!!!

No issue, no problem. Does not matter.

So, let me see if I understood, correctly: You typed in with a computer the information, but later you noticed there were things missing and decided to add them with a pen?

If this is the case.. YES.. You made a mistake by doing that. You can do either one of those things, but not a combo.

I tend to agree with Inky - it does not matter. We found that there were some things which we simply couldn't type in (can't remember what) so we wrote them in by hand. As long as everything is legible I can't really see why USCIS would care. I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.

It is fine. You can type it all, hand-write it all, or a combo of those 2 things. Sometimes people need to hand-write in certain answers so they fit on a line. There is nothing wrong with this.

As long as they have the information they need, I don't see a problem with it.

[C-ma'am 684]

My mistake! I was certain that was not possible, as it could constitute that a form was edited/tampered after signed.

EDIT: Certain that a combo wasn't possible, that is

Thanks for the quick replies!! Personally, I didnt think it was an issue but considering what Celeste&C had said, it does raise some eyebrows. I mean the hand-written portion on my part on the forms are not anything that requires a lot of writing. Its either I wrote down "n/a" or "none" on the blank spots. Lol thats why i said this might be a really stupid question.

Nothing is stupid here We all learn as we go! Thanks to you, I learned something new today

I did the same thing,at first left blanks if i had no answer. (after printing and then re-reading directions... just hand-wrote in the NONE's so the spaces were not blank per instructions)

If it makes you sleep better at night knowing you typed up the form and its a 100% ledgable .... that would be better.... but either case I honestly dont think it makes a difference.

you could have asked me.....I did hand write some also and you know the result....

Thanks for yall's quick replies. Honestly, i really dont want to go through and print those forms again...lol

I made some manual entries on both the I-129F and my wife's G-325A. It wasn't an issue. We were approved without an RFE.

The only forms it makes a difference with are the electronic forms you fill out on the Department of State website, like the DS-156. The computer system generates a two-dimensional bar code on those forms that contains all of the information you entered. If you enter anything manually after printing the form then the bar code will no longer match the contents of the form.

it's o.k as long as it's printed neat an ledgable in black ink.
