I-131 Part 3 Question 4a and Part 7?

Should Part 3 Question 4a, this be answered no vs being left blank on the example form?

Part 7:

Does a document need to be supplemented. Is simply visiting family OK? or does someone need to be sick or something?

I left it blank because the Form I-131 says on page 2, "If you are applying for a non-DACA related AP document, skip to part 7."

One would think it would be more obvious on the form...like, oh, I don't know, maybe on the top of part 3??

Hopefully I filled mine correctly...

Yeah I guess my question is that Question 4a is still a part of Part 3 before the 'skip statement'

You can enter visit family if that is what you are planning to do or unknown, no reason needed.

You should check on NO. Don't leave it blank.

On the current edition of the form, it's not clear, because the instruction to skip goes across the bottom of the page across both columns, so it could be after #3 (bottom of first column) or #4 (bottom of second column), although #4 isn't really a relevant question for APs. But on the previous edition of the form (no longer accepted), the instruction to skip is clearly between #3 and #4, so I believe the intention is that you can skip after #3. I wish somebody complained about the unclear new design when it was up for public comment.

Really! Where does USCIS get off by calling them "instructions"? They are more like guides, and provide very little instructions to the form itself. (I might be biased because I'm used to instructions to IRS forms...)

Thanks newacct, my worry here is that maybe it was redesigned specifically w/ the intent in mind this question was explicitly answered vs before. (or they wanted it answered which wasnt required before. did seem pretty clear before) The 'example' VJ form however is unfortunately very ambiguous just being left alone in this case.

I recall reading on here that since number 4 is technically on the same page as the whole "skip to part 7..," part, that it would be okay to answer it without it being a problem.
