My soon-to-be fiancée lives in Honduras. I will be submitting the K1 packet in a few weeks (I'm filling out the current one as a template to copy over once the new one is made available after March 31) and had a couple of questions I would appreciate guidance on. I have searched the forums and see lots of questions about address formatting, but didn't see anything asking about referencing Part 8. That's my main question, but I also had two quick other ones on my mind:
 
  1. HND's address format doesn't fit neatly in the address boxes on form I-129F. Should I do my best to make it match? Or is it acceptable to write "See Part 8, Box X" in each street address box that asks for a Honduran address, leave the rest of the boxes for that address blank, then write out the full HND address on the final page that has more room instead?
    1. Her street address is quite long, including a building, block, and house number, so I don't think I can cram all the info into the Street Number and Name box (either typing or writing). I figured writing it out in Part 8 would be much cleaner, but don't want it to look like I'm "skipping" the address. 
  2. Honduran people have two first names and two last names -- this is how it's written on their national ID card. Thus, I believe I should write her and her parents' names on the form in the same way, writing "NONE" for Middle Name. Is this correct?
  3. I believe it's recommend to write "N/A" in every box that doesn't apply (extra addresses, A-Number, interpreter name, etc.) and you should not leave boxes blank that don't apply, correct? Should I also write "N/A" in boxes that Adobe Reader's interactive grays out automatically (such as older jobs that don't apply to me)?
 
Thank you so much!

Welcome to the forum!

 

1.  Follow the above advice.  The consulate is well aware of the nature of Hondureño addresses, and USCIS can be taken care of as suggested.

 

2.  Do NOT (do not!) write "NONE" for middle name!  It can be misinterpreted.  Use dashes: ---

For the surname, capitalize the actual surname -- e.g., GARCIA Sanchez.

 

3.  Fill in "none" or "N/A" as the forms suggest.  Don't sweat grayed-out boxes.

Hi everyone,

 

I am so sorry that I did not respond here sooner — between my trip to Honduras and preparing the K1 packet, I didn't take a moment to say thank you for your responses. I really appreciate your insight; thanks for your time. I dropped our packet off at UPS on April 5, so it should be there on Wednesday and thus begins the count-up. I'll keep an eye on the forums for anyone I might be able to help!
