Is the “write your fiancée s name in their native language” necessary ?

[Dee & Will 18]

My fiancé left that bit out in our i129f where he was asked to write my name in my native language thinking it wasn’t mandatory. Kindly let me know if it is or isn’t.

thank you

It depends on the country.

From the instructions:

Item Numbers 49.a. - 50.f. Your Beneficiary’s Name and Address in His or Her Native Alphabet. If your beneficiary’s native alphabet does not use Roman letters, provide his or her name and physical address abroad in the native alphabet. Otherwise, skip to the next question (Item Number 51.).

One of the things I have learned in the process of visa or GC is that they who have the gold make the rules. So, if they say that something is required, I would listen and abide to their request. This mistake will not cause you to be denied, if anything you may get a RFE to fix or they may just pass it along.

i always found it funny to have an American who has never written in a foreign language to attempt to write it... i just hope they can ready my sad attempt at cyrillic lol

There is nothing preventing you from having the significant other writing out, scan, email and print it.  On the form you simply indicate "see attached "

Cyrillic works for copy and paste 😊

Or at least did for me; Anastasia had sent me her name and address written in Cyrillic earlier.

You need to have your native SO write it.  No use sending an unintended insult to a savvy multi-lingual USCIS reviewing officer.

https://translit.net/ can come handy in a pinch for Cyrillic needs at least.

Only if your country doesn't use Roman letters, which it clearly states on the instructions.
