What does that mean? This is my first time I would be filing!

I think that is for people who have filed before. The last box should be the one you check!

Referring back to this, I have never had any criminal charges, offenses, etc. Did I fill this part out correctly? Or, do I not check any box and leave this section blank? What did you do?

Are you a multiple filer?

Could you show me what you mean?

For example. Part 1 question 16b. If we are currently working that job, do we leave the employment end date blank? Or do we put present?

Did I do this part correctly?

I believe so! Do you know what we should put as the date to on our current Residence and employment? Should we put present or...?

To continue on this "N/A" and "None" theme, do I put "N/A" under the line item 8a., In Care Of Name, for petitioner's mailing address. I'd hate to have them sending mail to me "c/o N/A"...  Since it's a US address it would seem redundant to put anything down for Province or Postal Code. Conversely when entering an address with a postal code there's no option for "N/A" under the State field. Pen it in later?

 

Where do we draw the line?

 

 

I have these same questions! I was going to do all of those things, haha. For in care of name, I put my full name, for province and postal code I put N/A, and I was planning to pen N/A into the state field later. I wish they would just tell us to leave it blank, but I think what they are trying to do is tell the difference between someone not answering a question and someone not having an answer for a question.

The most updated instructions I see are dated 4/10/17, and they say:

"If a question does not apply to you (for example, if you have never been married and the question asks “Provide the name of your current spouse”), type or print “N/A,” unless otherwise directed. If your answer to a question which requires a numeric response is zero or none (for example, “How many children do you have” or “How many times have you departed the United States”), type or print “None,” unless otherwise directed."

 

So if it's asking for a response other than a number, put N/A and if it's asking for a number, put none, unless that specific question tells you to do otherwise.

Do you think we should leave the alien registration numbers blank if we don't have one?

For the one part that says, Physical Address Abroad, do you just simple fill out the beneficiary's address again? And also, for the part where it asks for a daytime telephone number under where beneficiary intends to live in America,, do I put her number or my number? Because, she does not have an American number.

I think they want the number of the place they will live. I'm thinking they want the ability to be able to call and see if it's a real place or something. And yeah I think you just fill out the address again. That's what I did!

Pretty much! Keep in mind I did the old i-129f it's quite a bit different now. Just read the instructions very carefully. 

Yeah it says to answer everything completely, with an N/A or none if you need to, unless otherwise directed. I feel like that last part leaves so much room for confusion, at least for me. I feel like they are saying unless we tell you to respond if you put yes, you need to put something in the blank, but for grouped answers where they say otherwise, the group can be left blank if you've clarified your answer in the first part.

So, if you answer no to having any children, then you shouldn't be filling out the questions about said children.  The form says "If you answered yes to question x, then provide responses to y-z."

 

My understanding would be that for any primary questions, you should answer or write None or N/A as appropriate, but for grouped questions where you have already responded that this category doesn't apply to you, then I would leave those questions blank.  You're only supposed to respond to those "If you answered yes..."

That makes so much sense. I guess I was just thrown off by them saying they want answers for everything! Thank you!!!

If a check box isn't applicable - for example, on the new form, if we put that we don't have children, and then it later asks if children live with beneficiary, do we say no or just leave it?

Also, in the new form, is it ok to put N/A for all blanks? I haven't found a place to really use None (it said for numerical responses such as 0 or none), to me they are all just not applicable. 

Last question, what should we put for alien registration # if there isn't one? N/A? Or just leave it blank? They requested an answer for every question, so I hate to leave anything blank. 

Thank you!!!

My advice is fill stuff out and then sleep on it. Wake up and look at it fresh, because everything starts running together. It's definitely overwhelming. I've got my NOA2 and it's still very stressful. 

That has helped. I've been checking it over every day like crazy. Do you happen to remember what you did in the case of check boxes that don't apply to you?

Which check boxes are you talking about?  It looks like they're all kind of the deal where it's either a yes or a no, male or female, etc. Don't try to write anything in a check box...If you're talking about the ones for street address with Apt/Ste/Flr, just leave those alone.

 

For example, if we say no to having any children, when it later has a check box for does this child live with your beneficiary, do we say no or just leave it?

don't read into the question, if he is not in the US now you would not answer the question, that is for people who have over stayed visa kind of thing but if they are not in the US now and that is the question asked then it would not be answered.... that may come up later in the process however but for this it is as asked

Thank you! I think I am reading into it too much.

38a-h are only if they are currently in the US.

 

As for leaving things blank, I would go by the most up to date instructions.  In the current instructions (which were published 4/10/17), it says: "If a question does not apply to you (for example, if you have never been married and the question asks “Provide the name of your current spouse”), type or print “N/A,” unless otherwise directed. If your answer to a question which requires a numeric response is zero or none (for example, “How many children do you have” or “How many times have you departed the United States”), type or print “None,” unless otherwise directed."

Thank you! What do you think I should do if it's a check the box answer and it doesn't apply? Put no? 

Hi everyone, 

I have some questions regarding some parts of the I-129F. When it asks if your fiance has ever been to the US, should we include all the following information about their last visit to the US even if they aren't in the US anymore? It says if your fiance is still in the US, answer the following questions, but the instructions make it sound like you should answer them even if they aren't. 

Also, does every single blank and box need to be filled out with something, whether it be N/A, none, or no? Or if a box or something doesn't apply, is it ok to leave it blank? 

Thank you!!
