Can I type in I-129F, G-325a, and G-1145 forms?

[Freemind81 1]

Quick question. I've searched but couldn't find anything.

Can all of the forms for K-1 Visa (I-129F, G-325a, and G-1145) be typed into a computer. Or do they have to be hand written?

Or can they be a combination of both? I.E.: certain parts have smaller boxes so I'll have write really small with a black pen.

I know the signatures will require hand written black/blue ink.

Thank you!

We completed all the fields in the above forms on computer and then printed them out and signed them in ink.

Agree with above.

If you need more space, you can always add a supplement in a word.doc at the end of your form.

Signatures need to be in black ink only, NOT blue.

It isnt mandatory use black pen.

Sometimes black pen get rfe because they think that black is a copy.

Bkue it is ok.

The USCIS instructions for the forms in question specifically state to use black ink. Using black ink will thus be in complete adherence with the USCIS instructions and is therefore wise to follow and should not cause any problems. NOT following USCIS instructions increases the chance for an RFE. Also, reading various forums, applicants using black ink seem to systematically satisfy the USCIS.

I've read some of the posts here regarding blank spaces in these documents.

I guess in the older versions of the docs, it said to enter "None" or "N/A" for fields that didn't apply. For example: Alien Registration Number.

But with the newer form that came out (2016 expiration date), the consensus seems to be to leave the field blank for fields that don't apply. So for Alien Registration I would leave it blank.

So would this blank only apply to the Alien Registration number since I'm a US citizen and my fiancee doesn't have one? Or would it apply do all the other fields that don't apply to either of us?

Example: on the I-129F:

9.a.: "Other names used. Family Name".

11.a.: "Name of Prior Spouse 1. Family Name".

Would we leave these type of questions blank since none of us have other names used or a prior spouse? Or would we write "N/A" or "None"?

Bit confused about this. Thanks.

Yes leave it blank. I asked same question during my process, and my sister-in-law-to-be left it blank when she had her own i129f processed too.

These have been the instructions since the updated edition came out in June 2013.

http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-129finstr.pdf

How To Fill Out Form I-129F

1. Type or print legibly in black ink.

2. If extra space is needed to complete any item, attach a continuation sheet, write your name and Alien Registration
Number (A-Number) (if any), at the top of each sheet of paper, indicate the Part and Item Number to which your
answer refers, and date and sign each sheet.

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

The G-325A has some questions where it tells you to state None if the answer is None, so follow what that form asks from you.

It can be either or a combination of both.

You can type, handwrite or use a combination of the both. Most people I think type the information because it is easier, and some people will just handwrite things that don't fit when typing.

Not true. It can be signed in either blue or black ink.
