Again couple of questions regarding I-129F form

[Malysh 0]

My fianceé and I are filling the I-129F form, and we've got to PART C, question 2 and 3.

My fianceé (The USC) has had a misdemeanor when she was 16 years of age for shoplifting. She was told that as far as anything goes (IE: applying for jobs, background checks) that she would never have mention this because it was misdemeanor and there would be no record of this. However on the form it asks about criminal history, and it also says to answer it, eventhough your records have been sealed/otherwise cleared, and been told you no longer have a record.

Does this mean she will still have to mention this on the form? If so, how would she go about that, as it doesn't give any opportunity to mention a misdemeanor, but only asks about more serious crimes.

--

Then some extra questions about the form:

On the first page of the I-129F form, part B information about Alien fiancé.

At part 2, it asks for address, number and street.

In my country, they write down an address putting down the street first, and then the number. Instead of the other way around, should she just put it down the way I write it here, or should she put the number first and then the address? (When she sends me mail, she uses the way I write it in my country, if thats of any relevance)

Also, on the example forms on this site, they put None in places where nothing can be filled out. Is it necessary to put none, or can you use N/A as well? And do you have to put None/"N/A" in every single box, eventhough it belongs to the same question, or will the first box be enough? (Like it does on the form)

Thanks in advance for all the help.

Read the form carefully. There are no trick questions, it is quite literal. If it asks about a crime she was arrested for, the answer is "YES". If it does not ask about the crime she was arrested for, the answer is "NO". Misdemeanor charges of shoplifting would not disqualify a petitioner.

N/A means "not applicable" "None" means none. Use the appropirate response. Do not leave blanks in the I-129f form. You may get away with it or it may generate an RFE. Why take the chance of delay? To save ink? To save 1.28 seconds answering the question?

Example: Names of children under 21...if none, answer "none", not N/A. It is not a "not applicable" question. It is a valid question. Birthdates of children under age 21....N/A it is not applicable because there are no children

Name of former spouse...if none, write "None". Birthdate of former spouse...N/A it is not applicable because there is no former spouse. Regarding these questions as you go through these forms, use "None", "N/A" and "unknown" exactly as they apply to the questions.

Address? Write the address exactly as you would to deliver mail to that address. Not all the world uses "123 Main St." It is OK, really.

Good luck

Thanks for the replies.

The criminal record part, do you mean to answer only yes, if the crime she committed is listed on the form? And if it's not on there (Shoplifting is not on the form) to answer no to this question? If she has to answer no, would she still have to attach like a seperate sheet to let them know of the crime she did commit, or just not say anything at all?

Another question. So if they ask for an apt # but you don't live in an apartment the answer would be N/A?

And what about boxes you need to check, that don't apply to you, can you leave those blank? Considering none of the answers would really be correct answers.

Also, my fianceé lives in a trailer, and her address is referred to with a lot number. (IE: 111 main road, Lot #1)

Would she just put the Lot number next to the streetname and number like this: "111 main road, Lot #1" or should she put the Lot #1 in the apt box? (which sounds weird to me, I just don't know where else you'd put it, if not next to the streetname and number)

Sorry for the stupid questions, I just want to make sure we're doing this the right way to avoid any RFE's.

Thanks again.

I thought that was pretty clear. Has she been arrested for murder? What is the answer? Is it "no"? Or is "No, but she has been arrested for shoplifting"? They did NOT "forget" to put shoplifting on the list of crimes, do not assume they did.

Apartment number? "None", NOT N/A. It is not a "not applicable" question, it is a proper question. You have no apartment number, so the answer is "None".

Your fiancee would write her address exactly as she would to mail herself a letter. There is no such thing as a "proper address" it is what it is. However her mail is sent is "correct".

I am not sure which "boxes" would not apply. But if there is no appropriate box for the correct answer, then you can leave it blank
