I-751 blank spaces, N/A, None?

[mirrortraveler 1]

Hey you guys, 

 

Sorry, once again really confused here: Where on the i-751 does an N/A apply? Does it really have to be EVERY blank space?!

 

I don't have a middle name as such, so N/A for middle name? 

N/A for no Province or Postal Code in an address? 

If we have no children whatsoever, should we put N/A or None in every single space under each child, or just in the first line? 

 

This is highly confusing and honestly, I'm terrified of getting something wrong. In all the examples I see here on VJ and in other places online, people simply leave spaces blank when they don't apply. Are there any examples out there where someone actually put N/A or None so we have something that makes sense? 

 

Lastly, can we write the N/A's or None's in by hand, or do they have to be typed? My .pdf setup for the whole USCIS form doesn't allow me to write N/A anywhere. 

 

Thanks!

If you don't have a middle name, I personally would suggest you to type in N/A. It's been known that None could be misinterpreted as a name somewhere in the world.

 

For the address boxes, you can enter N/A too.

 

As for children, key in None in the name boxes under Child 1, Child 2 etc while you leave the rest of the corresponding boxes blank.

 

And yes, you can print the form and write with a black pen

I would personally put "none". since it is possible to have a middle name you just do not have one.

 

look at it this way n/a means "not applicable" so the response is impossible for you to have and "none" means it is possible but you do not have one.

Thank you for your help, KULtoATL and ff! Going with N/A under the middle name makes more sense to me as "None" is an actual word and might be mistaken for a name of some sort. But I am once again not sure. Shouldn't there be hard and fast rules for this instead of leaving it so vague? 

 

I am so unsure about this and really scared as I have to send out the package this week and I have no idea what is right. There are people here on the forum who say that every single space should be filled out with an N/A or none if they are empty and that entire packages have been rejected because of a form not filled out right in that regard, with no explanation of what the "right" way to fill these out even is. I have worked on this for so long now, I don't want it all to be rejected. 

 

I have tried to clarify things as much as I can by making a duplicate/"dummy"/example form I-751, showing how I filled things out without the personal details, where I put "N/A", where I put "None" and where I left it blank. The file is very compressed, so I hope it's readable. I am attaching it to this email and will ask my further questions based on this .pdf to make things easier. 

 

Page 1:

• I put N/A in the middle name line (1c). 2a and 2b are incorrect, as I would have to add my maiden first name and last name there. But otherwise, should I put "N/A" in every line for previous names that I can't fill out?
• Does putting "None" as the USCIS Online account number work? Should I instead put N/A or leave it blank?
• Can I leave any question with an "(if any)" blank? 
• Under "Marital Status", question 13, asking for date of divorce or date of death, neither applies. Can I put "N/A" in the place where the date should be or should I leave it blank? 

Page 2: 

• When it comes to addresses and there is no "In Care Of" name, should I put "N/A" or leave it blank. 
• If an entire address isn't relevant, can I just put "N/A" in the top line/field and leave the rest blank or does every line of the address need an "N/A"? What about the State? 

Page 3: 

• Under my spouse's personal information, if he doesn't have an A-Number, should I leave the field blank, put N/A, or should I put "None"? 
• If "Province" and "Postal Code" don't apply in an address, should I put N/A for both, None, or leave them blank? 

Page 4:

• When it comes to Children (which we don't have), if I put "None" in the first name line and leave the rest blank, should I put N/A under that child's address, None, or leave it completely blank? Have I done it correctly in the form attached?

Page 5: 

• In part 6 ("Accomodations for Individuals with Disabilities and/or Impairments"), if I answer "No" to all of the first three questions, should I put N/A in the spaces provided for those who have answered "Yes" under questions 4a - 4c? Or should I leave them blank? 

Page 6: 

• Under "Petitioner's Statement", similar to my question above, if the box next to an option isn't checked, should I still put N/A in the space provided? Or should I leave it blank? 

Page 8, 9, and 10: 

• When it comes to the information for the Interpreter and the Preparer (we don't have either), should I put N/A in all the name fields (First Name, Last Name, and Business)? Should I put "None" in all? "None" in the first line (as I have it) or N/A in the first line? 
• How about the mailing address for Interpreter and/or Preparer? N/A in the first field/line and leave the other ones blank? Or N/A in all? 
• Under Daytime Phone Number, Mobile Phone Number, and Email for Interpreter/Preparer, I have put N/A on every line. Is that correct? If not, what else should I put? 

Page 9: 

• Under Part 9, "Interpreters Contact Information, Certification, and Signature (continued)", in the blank space provided, is it correct to "complete" the sentence with "I am fluent in English and N/A..."? Should it instead be "None"? Or should the space be left blank?
• Under "Interpreter's Signature" and "Preparer's Signature", should I put "N/A" in both the signature line and the date line? Or is that completely wrong?

Page 11: 

• I forgot to include Page 11 in the .pdf file attached, but we have two entries for previous addresses, which go into the first field. Once again, I have last name, first name, and then an N/A in the middle name line. Below that, we have my A-Number in Line 2, "Page Number" in Line 3.a., "Part Number" in Line 3.b., and "Item Number" in Line 3.c. For the following fields (4.a. - 7.d.), I have put "None" in each line under "Page Number", "Part Number", and "Item Number" and "N/A" in the main fields underneath. Is that okay? Is there anything I should change? 

 

Thank you so much for any and all replies! I will make a new post for this, too, so it can be found more easily. Trying to get as many opinions on it as I can, and later I can post the corrected form example as a template to the forum so that other members might benefit.
