Is it okay to leave column blank if they are not applicable?

[Domantas K. 1]

Hello there,

 

My Fiancee and I submitted I-129f form and we are wondering now whether is it okay that we left some columns "BLANK" that weren't applicable for our case.I noticed in the instructions that it says to put "N/A".... However, in Adobe Acrobat Reader we couldn't do it, so that is why we left those column blank.

You can always go back and hand write it in after you print it out.  If it's obvious from the previous answer that the next field(s)/section does not need to be filled out, I would say it is safe to leave blank; otherwise it doesn't hurt to put in N/A to make it clear.

Madao is right. Print the application and where needed use pen to complete.

 

Please, can both of you complete your profile. We need a little housekeeping on your end. Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline OR your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine their Embassy. The country that should be used is the country where the interview will take place.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Once you finish that then return and you will see a flag in your profile. Select it and see what wonderful information will open up for you.

 

Thanks

Well the problem is we already submitted our application...So it is definitely too late for that. I was just wondering if anyone did the same?...

We definitely left any fields that were actually not applicable and we couldn't type N/A or none (as the instructions say you should do) blank. We didn't have any issues.

In fact, I'm not aware of any case of anyone getting an RFE for this since I've been an active VJ user (late 2017).

 

In my opinion, USCIS should update their instructions, but they haven't done this.

Since adobe didn't let me fill it out, I also left many of the boxes blank that didn't pertain to me. Didn't have any issues with the application being approved but for future references for those that follow and read the comments, I do suggests to err on the side of caution and to print it out write in with a pen cause I was nervous if I would get RFE because of that or just got lucky with an adjudicator that wasn't picky.
