What alphabet do we use for addresses and names (form i-129)?

[Tore 2]

Hello all,

My fiancée and I have spent a year apart to better our careers and now we're finally ready to get the petition started! I'm very happy.

My fiancée is Korean so her parents' names are written in Hangul as is her former occupation and other information. I understand we need to get official Korean documents translated, but should we be writing street addresses and names in Hangul or the English Alphabet for the i-129 form?

For example, for my fiancée's given name should I put:

Hae-Jin      or        해친

 

I thought I read to use your beneficiaries mother language (Hangul), but I am unable to find this again on the instruction sheet.

Let me know,
Thank you,
Sal

Everything in English or English transliteration except where specifically noted.

 

Hint: only one question where you use native alphabet

My fiancée is Korean so her parents' names are written in Hangul as is her former occupation and other information. I understand we need to get official Korean documents translated, but should we be writing street addresses and names in Hangul or the English Alphabet for the i-129 form? English, and see below*

For example, for my fiancée's given name should I put:

Hae-Jin      or        해친

 

I thought I read to use your beneficiaries mother language (Hangul), but I am unable to find this again on the instruction sheet. There is one section on page 7 where beneficiary's native language use is needed.

Welcome to the forum. The answers given are for K1 visa, yet you have IR1/CR1 listed on your timeline? Which visa are you going for? While on that subject: *Form I-129 is for Non-immigrant Worker, Form I-129F is for K1 Alien Fiance(e). You need to get that corrected/updated.

 

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Two. Name and address in native alphabet are both asked (or were as of last year).

@Pitaya (火龙果) thank you, yes I was looking for the section 2 title instructions. I'm working on changing the title to i-129F!
 

@DaveAndAnastasia Yes, it's section 2! Thank you.

I was confused because I lived in Korea and wasn't sure if I needed to put those addresses in Hangul or the English Alphabet, but it's pretty clear now that everything is in English except for that one section that asks for the beneficiary's name & address in their native language. Probably for the Consulate, I'm assuming.

Thanks guys.

Have you considered getting married in Korea and filing for a spousal visa at the uscis office in seoul?  You might be eligible depending on your residency status.   You might be happier in the end if you do 

[Tore 2]

Yes, we did. We decided with the k-1 visa option because we both enrolled in tech bootcamps in our respective countries and wanted for me to be settled in the US b4 she came. It's quite complicated, but thank you for bringing that to my attention. It is the cheaper options from what I understand.

Yes.  I promise that the adjudicators at USCIS are not prepared to read petitions in Hangul.
