Filling out the K-1

[JMcGrew92 0]

So while filling out the K-1 something that has been bothering me is that certain spaces are obviously going to be left because they are unanswerable or don't apply. If memory serves I believe the instructions on the USCIS website  instruct us to write/type "N/A" into spaces of this nature. My question is does that apply to the alien registration numbers since neither of us have one of those? Also the I-94 section as well, my fiancé never got one of those because she was able to utilize the visa waiver program thanks to Finland being on the list of accepted countries for this program.

N/A is fine on the question about A-number. If the question wants you to answer with a number (Like "how many children do you have?" or questions of that kind) you answer "none" instead or simply just 0.

 

Even those of us who travel to the US on VWP get an i-94, you can check hers online. https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/

It's electronic nowadays so you don't receive a document anymore.

Awesome! Thank you very much! One more question though, with this being the case. on page 7 of the K1 packet there is a space for Travel document number, would that be blank because of the VWP or is there a travel document created as well along side the I-94? If so where would I find that?

I assume you're filling out the form for the i-129f petition and not for the K-1 visa? Those are two different parts of the process.

 

Either she has a passport number or a travel document number, not both. Seeing as she's from Finland she will have a passport number, so there is no travel document number for her.

Oh, then yes, I am filling out the I-129F form. So then this isn't the K-1 itself? I though as much because it has a check box to signify that I'm petitioning for the K-1.

Yep, you are petitioning your fiancé so she can apply for a visa. First you need to get the petition approved, then she can apply for the visa and hopefully get approved. Two different parts of the process.

Hey everyone!

So now I am little confused. We filled out our petition, but we didnt write N/a or none in our I-129F

I actually used this example http://www.visajourney.com/examples/Form-I-129F.pdf from this website. But there were no N\As here, kust empty space. Do you think it was a mistake?

Ok thanks for all the help, just a quick question whenever you get time, Could I forego using Microsoft Word to make a cover letter and just write it out by hand?

I believe you should because the instruction pdf on the USCIS website says that were not supposed to leave blank spaces, I wasn't sure how picky they were about this, but I decided it'd be best just not to take any chances

Some people have gotten RFEs for leaving spaces blank as USCIS thought they had forgotten to fill it out. I bet that's the reason for why they added in the instructions not to leave anything blank. We left certain areas blank back in 2015 when we filed our i-129f (the instructions were different back then, and the form was different too), and we never received an RFE. It can go either way tbh, just sit back and wait to see what happens, nothing you can do anything about right now anyway.

It's up to you, adding a cover letter isn't a requirement in the first place, but highly recommended. Your case won't get denied because of a hand written cover letter, but it looks way better if typed on a computer. I only use the simple wordpad when I type mine, never used MS Word as I don't have it.
