I-129F Interpreter and Preparer

[NotPennysBoat 20]

For Part's 6 and 7, I have put N/A in the first field of each section (see attachment below). Is there anything else I should do for these sections beside that? Should I leave the interpreter and preparer's signature and date fields blank? We did not use an interpreter or preparer as both my fiancee and I speak English and we filled out the I-129F ourselves. Thank you again!

That’s exactly how I did it on my I-130 and it cleared without issue. It’s better to include N/A, so it isn’t marked as incomplete. Looks good to me.

The instructions are clear:

 

ANSWER EVERY QUESTION

 

If the answer is not applicable, answer N/A

 

If there is NO ANSWER enter none.

 

How To Fill Out Form I-129F

 

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.

 

 

There is no part of the form that says 'leave blank if...' or anything similar.

There kind of is, because large parts of the smart form are N/A and won't let you enter information if you check NO on their prerequisites.  Part 1 Questions 41 - 42.c for instance.

In practice, I've seen no reports of anyone getting an RFE due to leaving questions that truly are not applicable (questions disabled due to prior answers assuming those were answered correctly, the Interpreter/Preparer sections if there wasn't one, and such) blank, and we definitely did this on both the petition and AOS form.

 

In my opinion, the directions are out of date for this.

I agree with that. It makes no sense to have to copy paste "N/A" or "none" into every field of a section when the Form says you do not have to fill out that section
 and actively prevents you from doing so. Seems like the N/A are for the non - "If" sections of the Form.

Did you put N/A in the signature and date part (preparer and interpreter)? I'm finishing up my paperwork and this is my only thing that I am not sure over.

Yes, I put N/A in all the fields for Interpreter and Preparer (including Signature and Date).
