Please Review (call to community) new I-129F Example form for K-1 Visa

[Captain Ewok 1,891]

Please review and let me know how this looks. I don't like how the new form does not allow folks to enter a country code properly for their fiance(e)'s number overseas.

I just filled out the new form and I found it somewhat confusing. Especially since I had already filled out the old form. Not sure about section 15a -15h, should I put her Passport number and expiration date if she isn't here in the US?

[Captain Ewok 1,891]

I revised the form (re-attached to first post). The instructions say to complete 15a-f only if your fiance is in the US at the time of filing. Otherwise this is N/A and those fields can be left blank. I updating the example form to state this and left the other fields blank to avoid confusion.

This looks good to me too. Though the instructions state if something is N/A or None then leave it blank, I think stating "else N/A" for #15a-h might confuse some folks into thinking they should enter N/A instead of leaving everything in that section blank.

[Vanitas 310]

Yeah, now that #15a-h has been revised on the example that should be clearer but knowing people don't always tend to read the instructions (and come here first asking for help, there's at least one person I know right now who's asked for a lot of help with form filling) we just might want to make it doubly clear that if something doesn't apply, it's left blank unlike the old days where they asked you to put in "Not Known" or "N/A".

Captain, looks good. Though I like Ryan and Amy's "doubly-clear" caveat about N/A or None.

In 10a, if no other names used type NONE

In 13a type NONE for the first blank if no prior marriage. Don't leave these entirely blank.

If no children, type NONE in 16a

Put a phone number in part 4.

The instructions for the new form edition say if an answer is N/A or None to leave them blank.

"Answer all questions fully and accurately. If an item is not applicable or the answer is "none", leave the space blank."

OK. I don't like doing it that way and would disobey those instructions. But, I suppose the examples should follow the instructions.
