I-129f Foreign Language Question and Employment History

[BowseRx 10]

Hello again everyone. I am preparing the I-129f form  and in part Item numbers 49a - 50f, The instructions state to put My fiancé's name and address in her native alphabet. When she tries to type in Japanese in the form, the program crashes. I downloaded a Japanese keyboard to use and it crashes when I do the same as well. I tried typing in English in those fields and it works just fine. Any ideas on how to remedy this?

 

One other quick question I had was that she worked a part time job at a hotel in 2014, for 3 weeks, but she can't find the exact dates she worked. Can I just put unknown for the start and end dates there, or will that result in a RFE?

I'm not 100% about your keyboard issue, however the job i would recommend she gets as close as she can to the end date rather than putting nothing at all. There are a lot of people here that are from the same country and surrounding I'm sure they may know how to resolve that issue.

I had a similar issue, my fiancé's native language is Persian, so I went ahead and just filled in 49a-50f in English and then had my fiancé hand write his address in Persian on a sheet of blank paper and scan/email it to me. I then indicated in Part 8 Additional Information that I was attaching his address hand-written in his native language.

Thabk you, that is a good idea! Did you get any acceptance letters yet or not yet? Just curious if this worked out for you!

You’re welcome - I couldn’t think of any other workaround for this so I’m assuming this way will be acceptable. We just applied a couple of months ago, but so far no issues or RFE’s. I also had my fiancé sign and date his address page just to be safe.

I wrote in romaji, and added a sheet for the address in full Japanese.

 

Does copy paste work? She can maybe try writing it somewhere else and copy paste it? (Not sure though I don't have the form in front of me at the moment)

Copy and paste does work. I had my fiancé type her information in Word and copied and pasted in the form.
