Starting to fill out the I-864 form and am curious about leaving questions blank. Example...my wife has no middle name.

The form instructions clearly state If an item is not applicable or the answer is “none,” leave the space blank.

I had it ingrained in my brain to either use N/A or none, depending on the question, when filling out the I-130. I believe that i should just follow instructions on this form and leave them blank, but, I don't want to get checklisted. Tell me I'm over-complicating things and I should just leave them blank where applicable.

I'd put "N/A" if I were you. :star: Wait! What if the reviewer thinks your wife's middle name is N/A? Haha. :rofl:

I'd put "N/A" if I were you. :star: Wait! What if the reviewer thinks your wife's middle name is N/A? Haha. :rofl:

I remember reading that someone put "None" in a middle name field on something and USCIS referred to that person as John None Doe... I mean omg really?

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

September 28th 2016: Package delivered
September 30th 2016: Check cashed
October 3rd 2016: NOA1 received with receipt date of 09/28/16
November 3rd 2016: Biometrics received with appointment date of 11/14/16.
November 14th 2016: Attended biometrics appointment
October 30th 2017: Infopass appointment to get I-551 stamp
February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.

Search for and download the "DS-260 Examplar" pdf, study it, and prepare all your answers in sequence. Once all the information are organized at your finger tips, the actual form filling should be fast and error free. Just make sure you save every page before you go to the next. This way, you don't have to repeat data entry after hang-ups or timeouts.

Cheers but there are A LOT of addresses...working on it though...thanks for the advice!

Ok odd question but i am curious now, from reading many of your timelines it seems that many have sent the IV package documents in to the NVC before your IV fee was available or paid? Is this possible or am i missing something? and does this make a difference? We are EP filing and on hold waiting for IV fee to be invoiced.
