Speaking as someone who took some Japanese in school and wasn't very good at it, if you don't know any kanji, practice a few times with her kanji name and send pictures back until she says you get it right, before you write it on the form. A single line out of place can change the whole meaning of a character in kanji and you don't want to accidentally say her name is something completely different.

thanks

Aren't there two fields, one for Roman letters and one from native alphabet?

#3 says: Alien Fiance's Mailing Address (on the PDF it doesn't accept dashes even though her address has dashes in it)

and

#29 says: Your Fiance's Address Abroad (on the PDF it doesn't accept dashes even though her address has dashes in it BUT specifically says to write it in her native language)

So looks like both is the answer.

Looks like if I disable javascript in the Adobe PDF, I can enter dashes and type in Japanese.

Forms must be filled out in english

Thanks for your reply, even though it says "If your fiance's native alphavet uses other than Roman letters, write his or her name and address abroad in native the native alphabet?"

Hello. Filling out the i-129F K1 document. Question is about my fiance's name.

She is Japanese and she writes her name in Kanji characters. HOWEVER, on her Japanese passport her name is written in roman letters just like English. Should I write her name in Kanji or in roman characters.

One other thing. The I-129F PDF form doesn't allow kanji in the name field. I would have to do my best to write her Kanji name after I print the document...
