Questions about I-129-F

[Pack88 4]

Like most of you,  a long time ago, I am at that bewildering moment when I am starting to complete the I-129-F and am routinely puzzled by what I feel are  trap questions but it is probably just an overabundance of caution and not wanting USCIS  to slow my application down while they ask for more information; so with that disclaimer aside here are my questions and I will appreciate any helpful advice!

 

1)  In the employment history it asks for last five years of employment;  I retired in 2017 so to account for that period of time  should I complete the block 1 with retired as my employer and then  complete block 2 - or should I complete the form starting in block 1 with my retirement in  2017 and going back to 1994 when I started working for the company?    

 

2) In part 1 Sec 40 it asks how I acquired my US citizenship and offers two correct answers - birth in the United states or US Citizen Parents!  Does it matter ??

 

3)  Back in the Stone Ages (1975) I married a German woman while stationed in Germany- When I left Germany I completed the process to bring my wife to the states but after 45 years I suspect the process was vastly different back then and so question 43 leaves me puzzled.  It asks have I ever filed a I -129 F for any other beneficiary.  I believe that the answer to this question is no because we were already married when I brought her to the states but after almost 5 decades I do not recall what the process was titled and so am unsure how to complete this question.

 

4) Last Question (for today) In Part 1 Section 27 it asks for information about my parent's and line 31 asks their city/town residence and in fact they are deceased - Is it better to leave blank or anotate deceased in line 31!

 

Thanks very much for your help

It asks have I ever filed a I -129 F for any other beneficiary.

Before the Legal Immigration Family Equity Act of 2000, Form I-129F could only be filed to petition for fiance. So, answer "No"
