Form Question

[Haiti2USA 4]

I'm hoping this is my last question before I'm finished. I have filled out both the I-130 and the I-130a completely and where there were things that either didn't pertain OR would have been left blank I marked N/A to make USCIS aware that I saw the item and am saying it  doesn't apply.

Will this cause any problems? 

I had watched this video:

 

I pretty much followed this advice on the I-130a also.

 

Also, can someone clarify here on what I need to do on the page that asks if the beneficiary can read English? "   " if the beneficiary asked the preparer to fill it out? I already signed as the preparer; will this cause problems? This paragraph is regarding the I-130a. 

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

I have seen the cr1 guide here and what looked like example forms, but when I opened them on my phone, they are only appearing to be blank forms.

My phone acts weird so upon using a laptop at a wifi center I can see the example forms. My question is as follows: Is the I-130A example  form here on visajourney.com  being filled out on behalf of a spouse beneficiary here in the USA or one overseas?

I research and research (which I've done for anything else I've been asking here) and it seems I'm not finding a total conclusive answer. I'm a very thorough person and the last thing I want is a small thing to cause major problems (delays or rejection). My specific question I have been researching to find is whether I need to check the box that states "I understand English and contents herein..." (I'm paraphrasing) on the I-130A for the spouse beneficiary when they live overseas. It doesn't seem it should be checked but I just want to be sure as things aren't always as they seem either.

Embrace the concept of truth.  Where the beneficiary is located is a separate issue from whether they complete the I-130 themselves or whether they are fluent in English.  Tell the truth, then proceed accordingly.  A preparer is more than a typist.  If your spouse read and understood the questions on the form, you need not indicate you are the preparer.  If she cannot, then you are both the preparer and possibly the interpreter.  Think in terms of facts.

So,  the fact that I'm trying to tell the truth is what makes me not know what to do. "I can read and understand English, and I have read and understand every question and instruction in this form and my answer to every question"... (exact quote from the form). It's because he is overseas and I'm supposed to fill this out for him that confuses me. If I'm to fill this out for him as he is not to sign this form (as he is overseas), how can he say he understands and has read every question.

I'm sorry if I ask too many questions. I think I'm just overthinking too much because I want this petition to be perfect with nothing that can cause a rejection or major delays. I've read where one small thing can cause months of delays.

Nobody said you were supposed to fill it out for him.  He could fill it out and email the completed PDF to you.  You can email the completed PDF to him to read and understand.  OR, you could scan and email what you filled out by hand.  Filling out, and reading and understanding are NOT the same thing.  No need to sign means no NEED to sign.  He can also complete it, sign it and send it to you by courier.  It's OK to sign, not REQUIRED to sign.  Read CAREFULLY.  Interpret LITERALLY, and then answer ACCURATELY.

 

If your spouse is ABLE To read and understand every question, make sure they actually DO read and understand every question and correct what YOU filled out, as needed.
