1) In Section F of the I-130, it states, "Signature of person preparing this form, if other than the petitioner." Should I put "N/A," "None," or just leave it blank?

2) In one of my previous threads, people have recommended to never leave a section blank. Does that mean I should fill in EVERY blank space there is with either "N/A," or "None"?

3) For some of the boxes, there was not enough room to type in the complete information such as the place of birth. Would it be okay for me to type in what I could, then print out the form and fill in the rest of the required boxes in hand written form?

Sorry for these questions, I just really do not want to screw up the application with such a simple mistake.

I left it blank, had no issue. This may be the only time where it is OK to leave a section blank.

3) For some of the boxes, there was not enough room to type in the complete information such as the place of birth. Would it be okay for me to type in what I could, then print out the form and fill in the rest of the required boxes in hand written form?

If there is not enough space in a box to type in the information, type "see attached" and write the information on a supplemental page. Be sure to reference the question from the form that you are supplying the information on.

cant you just write it in by hand because sometimes it might only be a few letters that you cant fit in when typing and it seems like a lot of trouble to use a supplemental page for just a few letters???

That's exactly the problem I'm running into. I'm unable to type in the last few remaining letters.

So would it be okay to submit a form with boxes filled in a combination of type and hand writing?

Yeah, I had filled in everything on the computer except a birth place (city/country). No issues yet and USCIS got my case a month ago.

Okay thank you. I just don't know how picky they might get when it pertains to official, legal documents.

Logically it seems ridiculous to give us problems for trying to give them complete, accurate information. Maybe they should fix their form :devil:
