Any petioners marrying an algerian? I have a question about the beneficiary passport. When my fiance got his passport in 2009 he didn't have a job and put down UNEMPLOYED (SANS EMPLOI) on his passport and now we are thinking about getting a new one for him in order to make things easier, is getting a new one better or could he just keep that one? what do yall's fiance(s) passport say under OCCUPATION?

you welcome! I said so because a passport is meant to expire like after 10 years and 10 years is a long time! so you can be studying then working then not in that timeframe!

Also, in the forms you give the uscis or embassy at the interview, you write the actual occupation so that's what it matters :) They didn't care much at my interview what I was doing in colombia but more about the relationship. They didn't ask about my occupation or work or anything related. :) You'll be fine! I'm sure!

nice, thanks for the info. on another note, do you know anything about writing in pen after having had print out the forms? I forgot to state my fiance has no middle name I just left it blank, and I didn't date it either I'm stressing because I don't know how strict they are about all of this.

The Algerian embassy did in fact ask questions regarding my husbands employment in Algeria as they were using to see what he was looking to do for employment once he got here. They can and have asked. I do however agree if the employment type is just on the current forms that should be fine as passports are pretty long term and changes do happen.

As far as the ink, if you are just adding the N/A and a date I am sure it is fine as long as it is in black ink per the instructions. I think the issues come up when people try to write over or cross/scribble something out to change it.
