I-129f (Part 2. 49.a. through 50.f.) - Name and Address in Native Alphabet

[Cam C. 1]

Hello Everyone!

 

This is my first post here and I am definitely new to this process but I'm pretty good with paperwork so I think so far we're getting everything filled out correctly. With that said my question is about the I-129f specifically Part 2 Sections 49.a. through 50.f. (Your Beneficiary's Name and Address in His or Her Native Alphabet). The heading on this section tells me that I need to write in Korean for this section. I feel confident that I could do that, but according to the I-129f Instructions Page 2 (Toward the bottom) >  Translations.  If you submit a document with information in a foreign language, you must also submit a full English translation.  The translator must sign a certification that the English language translation is complete and accurate, and that he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English.  The certification should also include the date, the translator’s signature and printed name, and may contain the translator’s contact information.

 

We already gave the official english translation of her address in Part 2 section 11.a. through 11.i. Ultimately I just want to know is 49-50 just there to force me to consult a translator or is this section somehow exempt from the translations section of the general instructions?

 

Thank you so much for your response.

 

P.S. I have one friend that was married abroad and one other friend that went through the same K-1 process that I'm going through and both of them referred me to this site so THANK YOU FOR HELPING US

The bit about a translation certification refers to official documents you may include, not really the address in the native alphabet. 

 

In my K1, we just wrote in the address in my fiance's native alphabet where it asked - no trouble from USCIS.

You do not need a translator certification for the I-129f ......don't overthink the forms.

You guys are amazing thank you so much. 10 views and 2 solid replies in 8 minutes that's incredible. And @missileman thank you for the advice about not overthinking it but when it comes to forms like this I get really anxious and read into them like crazy. This has helped though for sure.

 

Thanks and I wish you a pleasant journey!

Thanx for asking this!  I was going to ask about this section as well.  Does the native alphabet have to be in her hand writing, or can I find a Thai person living here to fill it out for me?  Otherwise it seems my only option is to mail it my fiancee in Thailand so she can fill it out then mail it back.

 

Thank you!

Anyone who can write it properly can fill it in, doesn’t have to be your fiancé.

You can copy and paste if you want.  It does not have to be hand-written at all.

Hmm.  I guess I made the assumption the whole form has to be filled out by hand.  It says it won't except a stamped or typed signature.  Am I to fill the form out digitally then print and sign it?

Thanx!

When I try to copy and paste Thai into the PDF, the letters show up as dots. I suppose because it's Thai. I can't figure out how to display Thai in the form. Anyone have any ideas?

I've seen that before myself (with Thai) when opening the PDF with a web viewer - do you get this with the Adobe reader?

Yes. I saved the doc to my pc then opened in acrobat reader dc. I have been searching for a solution on the net but found nothing so far with my particular situation. Thanks for the reply.

I found a solution in an online app called pdfiller.
