another question...

some places in my application is empty (blank).. should i write N/A or NONE on the places that are blank???? should i leave it blank??

when i try to type in the acrobat reader .. it doesn't let me .. how did you guys do it??

They say to not leave items blank, but I think it also causes issues if you write "None" in some fields. For the childs legal name I type in "None" and the IO commented that the computer system saw that and he had to blank it out. When I was filling out the form on my computer, if the form didn't accept N/A or None, I just left it blank.

The form is pretty good, but it needs more work. There are a lot more fields that they could grey out if you answer certain other questions a certain way.

Hi ce2010... this is what I did: I typed in everything that was applicable to me on the pdf document, then I printed it out. That way the 2d Barcode down the bottom gets all the necessary information that applies to me.

After I printed it out, I then wrote in with black ink N/A in every blank place that an answer was needed and also next to any of the yes/no questions that required no answer.

Luckily, afret it gets scanned into the USCIS computer system, an actual person (IO) reviews it. So I don't believe you can go wrong doing it that way.

Hope this helps :)

Just ONE check or money order for the total amount of $680. I used check because I can then track it and see when they actually process it! With a money order you cannot.

Thank you everybody

Ce2010...I had a similar thing, an extra page for work and where I lived. What I did,on the sepArata page I wrote the number thE answer applies too with the worword "continued..." and then I also wrote the name of that section and then I numbered my answer, with details of where I worked/lived. I then put each page directly behind the page of the application which was needing that answer. I also ensured to write my A-number on the top right corner of those 2 pages.

Hopen that makes sense :)
