Thank you so much for the help! I think I will put N/A in it.  if I can not put '/' in it, I will just put NA and then write/draw '/' on it. lol

I'm also confused... Do we have to put N/A everywhere? Also to interpreter/lawyer/children parts? In every single line? 

I checked our AOS application and there we just left blank space

Thanks for sharing! I tried the same thing but the form with all these N/As looks so weird. I guess it's better to be safe than sorry and they won't return an application because of N/As everywhere
