Answer with the city of your residence when you applied for a visa. It will be where you lived at the time you submitted the DS230.

Did your application indicate FNU or FNO as your middle name instead of N/A or ----? If so, it's really your fault but they'll probably correct it for free anyway.

All my Visa application had First name and Last name.

For middle name, i put NONE where NONE was instructed and N/A where N/A was instructed.

There is no specific instruction for handling no middle name. Yes, you can use NONE and N/A as applicable but None is an actual name in multiple languages. N/A or ---- would be the way to go in the future. Sounds like you'll be OK on the I-90. It usually takes 4 to 6 weeks to get the replacement green card.

I am reading the i-90 instruction and it says if the answer is "none" to put NONE

So regarding i-90 part III, Q3, i'll put the city (NEW DELHI) where i was living when my husband was petitioning for me?

People are often confused about when to use none and when to use N/A. I always advise against using "NONE" in a middle name space. N/A or ---- are more applicable for that and work every time they are used. Worker bees make mistakes. I'm for making it easy for them to avoid mistakes.

What I was referring to with regard to instructions is that they are not specific about when to use none and when to use N/A. For example, if you have no former spouse, "None" is the correct answer for family name, followed by N/A for first name. When a question IS applicable, you do not answer with N/A. Once you've indicated there is no former husband, further questions about the former husband become N/A (not applicable) but until you've answered the question, it's applicable. Another example is the question about whether your relative is currently in the USA. Once you've check the NO box, the rest of the questions in that section become N/A.

You won't find those detailed distinctions in any instructions.

It makes sense to put N/A so to avoid any unintentional mistakes by worker bees.

Okay, so i have now changed NONE to N/A

We'll see..... fingers crossed

You don't seem to have a correct understanding of the word "applicable". The question of middle name IS applicable and the answer IS none, in your case but the reason I think ---- is a better answer than "none" is that "None" is a name. All that said, you should not have any trouble with N/A instead of ---- in this situation.

I see, to me i think N/A is little safer than ----

I used ----- when it was appropriate to do so and it was not a problem.
