N-400 blanks?

Should we put N/A in blank spaces on the N-400 form or just leave them blank, unless the instructions specifically say otherwise?

I don't mean to hijack the original post, but I'm also facing the same question and have seen contradicting information online, also in this forum.

The form instructions says to type "N/A" in all fields that are not applicable or where the answer is "none", unless instructed otherwise.

 

However when filling out the interactive PDF form, many fields don't accept the forward slash "/" symbol. It's also not clear whether N/A is necessary for fields where the instructions ask to fill out "if applicable", or if instructions say to skip a section if not applicable.

 

And of course there are questions that don't expect text input, but rather check boxes, or numeral digits. Which means we'll be leaving some fields blank anyhow. 

 

I've seen some say it's okay to leave blank, others say they manually write "N/A"  (with black/blue pen) on the form where it was not possible to do so in the interactive PDF on computer.

 

Should we assume both are corrrect?

I guess? As long as they're not going to throw an application out for blank fields. Back a few years ago when I was filling out the IR visa paperwork that WAS an issue, but there was no online filing option for that. So I guess we'll file online and put just NA where we can (skip the slash) and if we can't we'll just leave the field blank. Thanks for the reply!

I thought as much that NA and None will just suffice for where typed words are accepted
