A couple of dumb questions about I 751 form

[2for2 0]

We are going to file this week, a couple of questions about the form. In part 1 there is a space for C/O (In care of), should we write N/A or leave empty? Question number 2, My wife does not have a middle name, Should we leave empty? N/A? In our marriage certificate they wrote NMN(might be a little confusing), we could also do a line, Third question is about Part 4, My wife uses her last name, hyphen, my last name, should we use this or her maiden name? We might be nitpicking but we do not want to get the package back on a technicality. Thanks in advance. Jay & Titi

You should not leave anything blank. Fill in N/A when it's Not Applicable (as in the case of the C/O) and None where it makes sense (as in Q2 asking for her middle name).

I don't know what you mean about Part 4 since I don't have the form open in front of me, sorry.

Thanks Mozplay. Part 4 of applications is about the Spouse through whom you gained residency. In this case my wife. We are almost ready to file within the next couple of days. Should we include copies of everypage of the cell phone statements? or just the front pages? Thanks in advance.

You shouldn't put NONE for your wifes middle name.

When I applied for Adjustment of Status I put NONE for my middle name ( because I dont have it) so they took it for my real middle name and put it on my approval letter. Very stupid. I recommend to put "-------" then its clear that there is no middle name.

good luck!

Wow, that has got to be the most ridiculous USCIS move, ever. Sorry that happened to you.

Thanks for your post, that is exactly what we thought might happen. Sorry it happened to you.

or it has been suggested "NO MIDDLE NAME"

Do not be fooled by people saying that you must fill out every box - not every box should be filled - if they do not apply to you - for example the Apt # box or the whole section about Mailing address if different than above -

Use common sense and leave them blank or put a line through it. I have always left such boxes blank and have not had a problem.

I had a Govt. official put NMN once on a job applicant and my interview letter had that in my name - since then I tell them to not put anything there. Good Luck

Page 1 of the I-751 instructions, under General Instructions states:

Step 1. Fill Out Form I-751

1. Type or print legibly in black ink.

2. If extra space is needed to complete any item, attach a continuation sheet, indicate the item number, and date and sign each sheet.

3. Answer all questions fully and accurately. State that an item is not applicable with "N/A." If the answer is none, write "NONE."

So no.. I do believe you should fill out each and every box. If you are nervous about somebody listing your middle name as "None" then put "N/A".

Yeah leave the middle name box blank definitely.

For part 4 use her name as it now is. If she changed her name legally and it appears on her SS card then use that.

Hi. Thanks for all the posts. Finally we are going to file I 751 tomorrow, with about 75 days left in our 90 day window, some delay waiting for some insurance papers, new AAA cards and affidavits from friends and family. Here is a list of the items included, we will write the cover letter tonight, punch all the holes and get this out tomorrow. So far this thing is about 1" thick plus the pictures, we actually reduced it by redoing some of the copies of statements on both sides of paper, as for the cell phone bills we are sending copies of the contracts and copies of the first page of Sprint, and a couple of pages from Verizon as they would not put both names on the statements but they show inside. Any comments will be greatly appreciated at this time, about the order of things or anything else.

-Money order

-Color Copy of my Residency card

-Copy of Driver licenses showing same address

-Transcrip of Joint Tax Returns for 2006, 2007, 2008

-Joint Checking account, Bank letter showing when the account was oppened, we are also including a couple of random statements for each year

-Joint Savings account, same as above

-3 Credit cards on both our names with a couple of bills for each year for each card

-Joint Title of 3 cars, 2 we still own, 1 we donated to Salvation army in 2008

-Copy of Car Insurance covering the span of our marriage, and copies of some of the old cards we found.

-Proof of IRA and IRA CD showing wife as beneficiary

-Cell Phone Family Plan and Internet access

-Life Insurance showing wife as beneficiary

-Family Accident Insurance

-Humana Dental Insurance, copy of old cards and this year renewal letter

- Cell Phone Family Plan and Internet access

-AAA, Costco and BJ's Cards

-We have 4 affidavits, will probably send 2

-Cable bills on my name, A couple of Vet bills on my wife's name showing same address

-Joint Magazines renewal forms showing address

-Copy of reminder Letter from USCIS

-Copy of IRS Stymulus Letter

-We are also including about 20 pages of pictures with about 2 pictures per page, I tried to keep it to a minimun but my wife did not let me take the pictures out of the albums so we ended up making color photo copies of some of the pages.

Oh! that's bad! I don't have a middle name either so I put "N/A-NO MIDDLE NAME". They didn't put that as my middle name, I think they understand what "N/A-NO MIDDLE NAME" means.
