Called USCIS for Assistence and they gave interesting answers....

[Wayne- 11]

FYI

We receive our NOA2 without any RFEs and we left her middle name blank. I was more scared that the government would list her middle name as 'n/a' forever, if we wrote anything in the box.

We also left the SSN box, File Number and most of the boxes related to current and former spouse blank. We did put in none in the current and former family name box, but left the rest blank.

I have called USCIS several times and have been highly irritated because they are seriously no help! Have you noticed when u ask a question they never can just give u an answer. They always say something like "ok give me a minute". They are scripted. They answer your questions from a script. I use to work for an insurance company that answered questions from a script.

; Myself I put "NONE" on fields I didn't have anything to fill in with.

You don't need a Laywer, but it would be recommended if you have a difficult case.

Read the guides and you should be fine

Good luck!

So if the fiance has no middle name should we put NONE or N/A? I just want to make sure because I don't want to get an RFE for putting the wrong one. That would be frustrating.

If you don't know the difference between the meaning of "none" and "n/A", I suggest you learn it. Once you have, you'll know which to use in which circumstance.

For middle name, "None" is a name in several languages. Do not use "None". The question is certainly applicable so don't use N/A. I prefer ----

You won't get an RFE for N/A or None in that space but you might get a case with the name None as the middle name.

Otherwise, when the answer IS "none" enter none. When the QUESTION is not applicable, such as the date of birth of a prior spouse when there has been no prior spouse then "NONE" for prior spouse name and N/A or leave blank for remaining questions about former spouse.

Another place of confusion is often the question about last address outside the USA for a year on the USC's G325a. If you never lived outside the USA for a year or more, answer NONE, not N/A, as the question is applicable and the answer is none. If those examples don't clear it up for you, hire a professional to help you.

I am in the process of sending my forms as well. I had a friend of the family that is a paralegal go over them and she did say to use None for things such as middle name which I have none... Also for previous husband, none and nothing in the rest of the boxes. I think if you put None and in the next ones n/a is fine but if you leave them blank shouldnt make much difference since you already stated you have no previous husband.

Your friend is correct but I still avoid using None as a middle name, as in some languages "None", pronounced "Nawnay" is a "Name". ---- works every time it's tried.

I like using "(none)" so as not to have that problem, but "----------------------" might work better.

Probably equal success with either but there's no possibility to misunderstand ----.

That's another question I have, I am a US citizen, but I was born in Iran and lived there till I was four years old. How the hell am I supposed to remember what my address was when I was four years old? I doubt my parents even remember as that was 17 years ago!

So what should I put? I don't want to get an RFE because obviously they know I wasn't born here and if I put nothing then it might cause problems.

Put as much information as you know. Look at your birth certificate. Often that information is there. If all you know is the province, or the city, or town, put that.

Exactly. For thing not known indicate "unknown" If you don't know the month but only the year put ? for month and give the year. They understand.

I left fiancé middle name blank and followed example on vj for the rest. Got my noa1 in 79 days and now waiting for fiancé to pick up paperwork that he has to fill.

Here I typed in an example I-129F with no blanks..

I know many people have done the VJ forms as presented and have had no problems, but do you think this is best case scenario...

On this one, I would spell out New South Wales because it fits. Don't abbreviate foreign provinces. The biggest thing of concern is item 18. If you want to say "see attachment" as the last two words after answering the question briefly, OK but DO NOT fail to answer the question on the form itself. Attachments get lost. Wherever possible, I would do countries in all CAPS.
