Native Arabic Language used on K1 Visa Forms

[jennifernhoussine 0]

My fiance lives in Morocco, and his native language is a dialect of Arabic, of course. However, Morocco tends to use French for business/address/etc.

On the forms required for the K1 Initial Petition, there are sections stating "If your native alphabet is other than Roman letters, please write your name/address in your native alphabet."

For those of you with fiances in Morocco, please tell me if they had to complete those sections in arabic, or if it was acceptable to leave those sections blank (as all the info is provided in the forms using Roman letters)?

Thanks!

His native language has to be put in that section. You can't leave it blank.

My husband wrote everything on a separate sheet of paper in Arabic and I wrote on the application section where it asks for this, " See attatched continuation sheet for question # ____ " .

He wrote it in Arabic in those sections.

There are other sections where he will write it in English, so you're all good...

Ohh, awesome question. I wonder! I had him type it in Arabic and I copied and pasted it in the document?! It's been 7 days since I submitted our Petition, no notice nor has my check cashed... eeek

My fiance printed out the forms, and filled out these sections in arabic. Then he sent them to me. That's what you need to do. I hope this helps!

Also, I don't know if it matters, but I was told that I needed to hand write the 129 and 325, was this true, or was my fiance being #######??? He has three friends who went through the process, and they all said hand write those forms.....hmmm

They distribute the forms in a format you can edit on your computer specifically so that you can fill them out on your computer and print them. You don't have to fill them out by hand. The only downside about completing the forms on your computer is that you can't change the font size, and some things may not fit in the space they provide using the font size they specify. In these cases, either fill in those entries by hand after printing, or put the information on a continuation sheet.

One of the biggest problems you're going to face in this process is combating advice your fiance gets from well meaning friends and family who based their opinions on either presumption or the experience of one or two people. The advice you'll get on VJ is based on the collective experience of hundreds of people, and when someone makes an incorrect statement then someone more knowledgeable will promptly correct them.

Looks like you've already gotten the answer to your question!

However, I wanted to point you in the direction of the MENA forum in the Regional Forums second where there are lots of people who will have a process much more similar to yours than everyone up here in the K-1 forum. This is not to say that the K-1 forum cannot answer you questions, but if you haven't found the MENA forum yet, it's a good resource for you! Good luck!

"Native Language" means his native language which is Arabic. Fill it in exactly as he would in his native language. It does not matter that the country uses French on some forms, his native language is Arabic.

My wife is from Ukraine. Her native language is Russian, the official language of Ukraine is Ukrainian, we filled it in in Russian...her native language.
