Blank vs N/A

[DesiJase 52]

Hi Family,

 

I'm sorry to keep posting these little questions, but they keep popping up as I'm putting everything together. We have a lot of blanks on our I-129F, for instance neither one of us have been married or all the interpreter slots, have you left those blank or do you write N/A? The instructions say to write N/A, but it just seems to clutter the form. Please let me know what you did, thank you. - D

I put N/A into every field  I didn't need to use. So if you check no for not married or never married, put N/A in the fields that follow.

When I did mine, I left it blank and I did not receive an RFE. You could always leave it blank and then write an explanation that you two have never been married.

Okay thank you for the responses. It's very confusing, and then the address section on page 2 part 1 it says to list your address if it's different from your mailing address, which it's not, so it's another case of do I leave it blank, put N/A or just put the address in. Trying to avoid RFE as much as we are able. Thank you again for the responses.

I would leave it blank

When in doubt, read and heed the official instructions:

Quote

3. 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.

Unfortunately, the official instructions are out of sync with how they coded the fillable PDFs. If answers to previous questions make a question not applicable, you usually can't fill it in.

 

And in practice, leaving those questions blank seems to be fine.

Read the instructions for the I-129F  it tells you exactly what to do in regards to questions that don't apply
