I-129F

[MEDSHE20 0]

On the I-129F form it asks for my fiance's name and address of where he lives, in his native language, which is Arabic. My fiance seems to think since he lives in China, that he doesnt need it in Arabic. I say it does. What is the correct way?

My fiancee is in China and had to do the same, except she lives in China. When the I-129 gets sent to the Consulate in Guangzhou, they will send her information. I assume that they need to have the name and address in Chinese to get the documents to her. That would be the same in your case. But to make sure, you should probably contact the consulate or USCIS that your going through.

Arabic? China? He needs write down his address wherever he lives in the way it's written there.

If your fiance(e)'s native alphabet uses other than Roman letters, write his or her name and address abroad in the native alphabet.

Hmm, I see how this can be confusing. If he wrote his name and Chinese address in Arabic... what good would it do for the USCIS? Then again, we can say that about a lot of things in this process. But that's besides the point.

Luis&Laura's answer makes sense. If they're going to mail your fiance something in China, how would they need to write his name/address? I think the USCIS is assuming that most fiances will have lived in this foreign country for their whole lives, so their native alphabet is how their name/address is written on mailings.

I'm not sure myself, though... just an opinion.

I agree with you and Luis&Laura, Angilla. I saw this earlier and meant to answer the same way!
