Blank and Empty Fields in an I-864 Form

[Obarguti 0]

Hello,

I know this question has been asked on the forums before, but the answers I found were still unclear. I am currently in the process of filling out the I-864 form for my wife. Certain fields do not apply to the case, such as the Postal Code, Family Member Fields, Interpreter fields and the person preparing the form fields. The problem is that some of the fields are locked, so they have to be blank. Other fields, such as the A-Number fields do not allow anything but a 9-digit number. Others do not allow the "/" so I cannot type N/A. The instructions states that it's ok to leave blank fields, but everyone on VJ advises against it. I am currently not sure what to do. I considered filling out what I can digitally on the computer and writing the N/A's by hand afterwards. However, according to the instructions, if the form is typed on a computer, then the will use to generated 2-D barcode to scan the form and it will ignore any handwritten fields. Should I just ditch the computer and fill everything out by hand? That would suck because typing is so much more reliable. any advice is appreciated.

Cheers

Right by hand on all fields with N/A or none just to be on the safe side and less risk getting a checklist

I would type, NONE in the first field for children and other family members sections. Otherwise, leaving lots of fields blank on the I-864 is perfectly fine, (and VERY common) including all asset related fields. If you qualify, just use the I-864EZ, with lots left to leave blank.

Fill it out by hand and scan it back on the computer when your done Jordan is so picky and everything has to be perfect for them so write everything in .

How did it go OP?

Did you fill it by hand or left it blank?
