I-129F question: Information about your beneficiary

[EICH 2]

Page 6 of the I-129f form has this part that says "If your beneficiary is currently in the united states, complete item numbers 38.a - 38h"

and then 38.e has a section for the passport number. My fiance is never been to United States and currently residing in Philippines. My question is do I need to fill out that part? his passport number and expiration date for passport?

You can but it is not necessary.

It clearly says 'complete if the beneficiary is currently in the US'. If he's not, leave it blank 😊

We recently completed the I-129F..

 

The instruction PDF actually says:

 

Item Numbers 37. - 38.h. Form I-94 Arrival-Departure Record. Select the box to indicate whether your beneficiary has ever been in the United States. Provide the date of your beneficiary’s most recent entry in the United States, his
or her I-94 Arrival-Departure Record Number, if available, and his or her immigration status at the time of arrival (for example, student, tourist, temporary worker, without inspection). Provide the expiration date and identification numbers on the I-94 or I-95 Arrival-Departure Records, travel documents, and or passports. See the What Evidence Should You Submit section of these Instructions for additional information.

 

I'm the beneficiary and I'm currently not in the US. We filled it in.

But then I just read your post. If your beneficiary has NEVER been to the US, then leave it blank

As the form states  A-H to be completed ONLY if IN the U.S.A.   That means EXACTLY as it states .... "E" is between A and H !!    So if your fiance is NOT in the United States why would you think you need to complete E ?

i think they are just asking here for reassurance.  it can be nerve wracking completing these forms.

Quite simply 

 

Never DO-DO when DO will DO!

People tend to over-think.  These forms are quite literal.

KISS is key to completing these forms.
