About N/A, NONE and leaving spaces blank on I-751

[Catt 6]

Hi everyone,

We are preparing our I-751 and am not sure anymore about when to fill in N/A, NONE or when to just leave spaces blank.

Maybe this is not really important ... but it would be stupid to get an RFE for this. So I wanted to check with you all first:

- Mailing address: they ask to fill this in, if it is different from the address above on the form. If it is the same, do you write N/A, or just leave blank? (If I remember correctly from the previous Forms, it wasn't a good idea to leave things blank. But does that even apply to something like this?).

- Part 3,1: Other names used: if I do not have another name, do I write NONE or N/A? (My other name is not NONE, that's why I thought N/A would be better.)

- Part 4: My husband is US Citizen so he does not have an A number. Is the correct reply NONE, or N/A?

Thanks for your feedback.

Think of it this way:

NONE, is for questions that can apply however you have NONE

N/A is for answering questions that do not apply.

You could have other names, however you do not, so "NONE"

An example of N/A A person is a natural born US Citizen, was born in the states, a question asking for "A" number or Naturalization Certificate would be answered N/A bcecause these do not apply to a natural born US citizen.

So for the A# question for a US citizen, Natural born citizen = N/A, A Naturalized citizen = "NONE"

Do not leave any question blank.

If you are dumb, state why: N/A (because you are not dumb)

If you have dumb children: state how many: N/A (because you don't have any children)

If you had children, how many of those would you think were born dumb: none

If you have been married before, how many times: N/A as you have not been married before

How many of your former spouses were married before: N/A, as you have not been married before

How many of your siblings were born with two heads: none (if you have siblings), N/A (if you don't have siblings

Thanks, YuAndDan.

How many of your siblings were born with two heads: none (if you have siblings), N/A (if you don't have siblings

Your last example would be NONE in either case. You could have two headed siblings however you have NONE. This question could apply.

Ha ha...I like this discussion. Some relief from the stress called USCIS.

If I had one sibling born with 2 heads but removed 1 head later, then:

How many of your siblings were born with two heads: ONE

If I had one sibling born with one head but attached a head later, then:

How many of your siblings were born with two heads: NONE

I hope I won't get an RFE for answering this way

Wrong.

Once again, the question is: How many of your siblings were born with two heads?

If you have siblings, but none of them were born with two heads, the answer would be none, just as I stated.

If you don't have siblings, however, the question is not applicable, so while none would be okay, N/A is the correct answer.

That doesn't make sense. The response is either none or N/A, not both. If N/A is correct, then none is incorrect, so it is therefore not okay.

Thanks for playing though, justbob .
