lack of address space on online I-129F/G-325A forms (and probably all others to come)

[Windblown 0]

Dilemma:

My fiancee's addresses (current, past, employment...all of them) are so much longer than the available field sizes in the online pdf versions of the I-129F and G-325A, that there is serious question as to whether an abbreviated version would be of any use at all, perhaps requiring interpretation/augmentation by a local postman, which doesn't seem all that likely to happen. Seems USCIS encourages adding supplemental sheets for similar situations (I am doing this for the "how we met" section)... but then I also read that these address fields are scanned in order to process the forms efficiently - which of course wouldn't work if I put it all on a supplemental sheet. So is it better to try to squeeze a perhaps-undeliverable address into the available space to avoid derailing their system, or better to go with a 100% complete set of addresses (that actually will end up moving most of the G-325A info to the supplemental page)?

One option is to refer to section 15 where there's more room for a complete address. Otherwise, refer to a supplemental sheet.

I had the same problem with my forms for my fiance. I just included a supplemental sheet for both the I-129F and the G-325. At the top of the page I labeled it I-129F supplemental information or G-325 whichever it was for, then listed the question number and wrote the actual question I was answering followed by the answer. I also included on the cover sheet that I had included these two other forms. Hope this helps and good luck

Oh man!! I read somewhere we can simply hand write it. I wrote it to fit in the little box. I hope nothing bad will happen to me because I did that... It's perfectly legible and I did type it all on the 129F actual form, it was just the G325A that had the problem.

Yes, I think I read somewhere too that you could either complete with black pen or type. I chose to type mine in because it was more legible than my handwriting, and I didn't want to keep filling out forms in case I made a mistake. I think you will be ok, good luck!!
