N/A vs. None

[Eve01 0]

This is concerning the exp. Aug 31, 2018 I-129F form:

The instructions say to put "N/A" in boxes that do not apply to you, and "None" in boxes that require a numerical value where your answer otherwise would be 0.

I just finished my packet and I put "N/A" for all boxes that did not apply to me; numerical or otherwise.

 

Does any know if filling it out this way will generate an RFE?

 

Thank you in advance for informed replies.

If you haven’t submitted your packet yet I would change it and follow the instructions. If you already submitted it I wouldn’t worry about it IMO. Just be sure to read all the forms properly and follow them in the future 🙂

Thank you Luckycuds.

Just to be safe we will change the answers.

 

What do you think is the appropriate response for boxes requesting a date that does not apply to me? N/A or None for a date?

I would say “none” because for dates it would have been a # ( for ex. 3/10/88)

Actually I read it a couple of more times and it states, "If your answer to a question which requires a numeric response is zero or none..." So I interpret it to mean only put in the word "None" for questions asking 'How many/much, etc.' where I would otherwise be writting "0". Therefore, dates that do not apply to me I will be putting "N/A".

 

Let me know if you think that is sound.

 

Also, there are a couple of instances there are check boxes that should read: Yes ___No ___ N/A ___; but instead only read Yes ___ No ___. If my answer is truly N/A for these, should I leave the yes/no blank, or check the "No" box so as to comply with the directive to not leave anything blank?

Right none, if that doesn't work write N/A, if that doesn't work leave it blank

 

The officers have seen it all, and they can grasp what you're trying to say. If it was a box that was not applicable, I did not check mark it.
