I-130 Question 19 and 20

[tealsky 0]

I'm filling out the I-130 and I'm really confused on questions #19 and #20. My husband and I are living in South Korea (he's Iraqi and I'm American). On question #19 it asks for his address abroad I put our apartment's address in Korea. Then question 20 asks for the address abroad to be written in his native language, Arabic. However, it doesn't make sense to write a Korean address in Arabic. So, should #19 be his parent's address in Iraq and then again in Arabic for #20. Or should it be written in Korean... Oh, I'm so confused. I hope the previous bit makes sense.

Thank you in advance for helping me!

but Korean isn't his native language...

If they want to be written in his native language, then it is Arabic. Let him write it as you pronounce it in Korean. The same sound you say, let him write it down in Arabic. This is called (Transliteration).

Thanks for the replies, but I'm still not certain that's correct.

1. I don't speak Korean. He does and he could translate it, but...
2. Isn't #20 so they can mail letters or check records... if so, it'll NEVER get here if it's in Arabic. It will get if here if it's in English or Korean.


This is the only question that is keeping us from filling. :/

I believe the question is referring to the address' native language as in the postal service and correct native writing of your address.

So Korean address would be written in Korean
