Should we estimate a day or just leave the day blank and only put month and year?

 

Month and year is fine.

3) for the section asking about the petitioner's parents, my spouse put all information down for her father - but we put "unknown" for his current location/residence as we truly dont know as she is estranged from him. Is this okay?

 

"Unknown" is fine, an alternative would be "last known" and then indicate what was last known.

Does anyone know if USCIS cares how we comingle our finances? I (beneficiary) want to add my US Citizen spouse to my 2 bank accounts. She also is already an authorized user on a US credit card i have.Is it okay if she doesnt add me to hers?

 

This is not something you would be required or expected to do so whatever you have done would make no difference.

Thank you for all of this!

 

So for dates we can essentially put like "dd/07/2020" if we are uncertain of the day and it wont be marked as incomplete? We are just worried and dont want the application denied over something like a missing day.

 

Thanks

For fields that we have no answers for, is it mandatory to write "N/A" or "none" in every single one? or can we simply just leave them blank?

 

Also, with the Additional Information section in 130-A, do I have to sign and date every single page? or just each page where extra information was added to? does it matter where on the page I sign?

 

Thanks. We just have these questions to be answered and then we are going to file in about 2 days!

No it is not mandatory to write N/A or none on every single line; once instance will apply for section that may not apply.

Thank you Ryan for all your help with all of this. We feel more confident in our application and ready to file.

I do have one more question if you don't mind helping me out with.

 

Under my I-130A, I have added 3 boxes of additional information. It says I must sign and date each sheet. Does that mean to sign and date each page that the additional information corresponds to? 

 

For example, if I am added supplemental information to Page 1, I sign the bottom with my signature and date of filing?

 

Thanks

 

Melissa
