I-129F Question...

[Greg & Mary 1]

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with several fields on the I-129F form.   Although most of the fields in the pdf form allowed me to type-in the information, several for whatever reason, would not let me "select" the fields!?  I went ahead & printed all 13 pages out, but for instance, Steps 38.a - 39 are blank, as I was unable to type-in any information into these fields.   Is it alright for me to write-in (black pen, of course) the information for these fields?  Essentially, this will mean that all of the other information on this page has already been printed-out, but some fields will be hand-written.  I know the embassies can be very picky, I just want to know if this will create any problems?  If so, what did y'all do for this problem?  

Also, from what I can gather, I enter nothing at all (other than, "N/A") on pages 11 and 12, since I completed the form myself.  Is that correct?  

 

Thanks again everyone, I really appreciate all of the assistance that I received on my other question.  I am really hoping to finally get this process going in about a week?

The instructions for the I-129F state:

Type or print legibly in black ink.

 

The instructions also state:

Answer all questions fully and accurately. If a question does not apply to you (for example, if you have never been married and the question asks "Provide the name of your current spouse"), type or print "N/A," unless otherwise directed. If your answer to a question which requires a numeric response is zero or none (for example, "How many children do you have" or "How many times have you departed the United States"), type or print "None," unless otherwise directed.

 

No worries.

Oh, one more thing that I want to be sure of getting right:  For Section 5 on Page 9, I selected 5.d. (N/A).  It also says, "Beneficiary is my spouse which of course, is not (yet) the case.  Is 5.d. the correct selection for this question?  I am not a multiple filer, etc....

From the I-129F instructions:

Item Numbers 5.a. - 5.d. Multiple Filer Waiver Request.

You must request a waiver of the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act (IMBRA) filing limitations if:

You are filing this petition on behalf of your fiancé(e) and you previously filed Form I-129Fs on behalf of two or more fiancé(e) beneficiaries; or

You are filing this petition on behalf of your fiancé(e), you have previously had a Form I-129F approved, and less than two years have passed since the filing date of your previously approved petition.

Select the box that indicates the waiver you are requesting. You may request and support your waiver with additional information and/or explanation in Part 8. Additional Information, or by attaching a signed and dated letter according to the instructions for Part 8.

If you are filing for your spouse, waivers are not required. Select the box for Item Number 5.d. and skip to Part 4.

That's exactly what I did (Select the box for Item Number 5.d. and skip to Part 4.).  OK, thanks again.

FYI - PDF viewers other than Acrobat Reader seem to sometimes have problems with the script USCIS uses on the form (or at least that was my experience). Which sometimes was helpful (it let me type Present into a date range form that wouldn't otherwise let me), but usually caused problems. And even Acrobat Reader was a bit picky about hitting check boxes.
