Question on 129F Forms

[MarkPajr 23]

My Fiancé and I are beginning the K-1 visa process now, and I'm working through the visa journey checklist to ensure I have everything required for the initial petition. I've been having trouble with the i-129F forms though, with half of the fields not being fillable. Is this just me, or is the form broken?

Do other people fill out what can be filled and handwrite the rest? Handwrite the whole form? My handwriting is rough, so I'd rather type everything I can haha!

Form is broken, you can do all you can on pc, and rest handwrite with black ink .

Hi

 

Sometimes Adobe can give you issues with the forms, if downloading them again from USCIS official site doesn’t fix the problem try Microsoft Edge, we used that one.

Thanks for the tips! I was thinking it was a reader issue, so I tried with Adobe pro(Work PC), Edge, and chrome. But the same fields are non-fillable each time. I'm downloading the newest form from this link:https://www.uscis.gov/i-129f and the main section that I can't fill out is Part 1 9.a-10b physical address 1. There are a few other fields throughout that can't be filled, but I believe they are all sections that don't apply to our situation. (P1.38a-39,42a-42c,44-49,IMB section, etc.)

Thank you for the confirmation, atleast I know it's not just me. I'll have to write in everything else, Thanks .
I've attached a supplemental for part 2 12a-13b Beneficiary's Physical address 1, because my partner's complete address doesn't fit in the fields. That shouldn't be an issue right, or should I attempt to handwrite everything smally into the boxes?

Thanks for that. While it also has the same issue of thos fields being un-fillable, it does allow me to create new fillable textboxes on the parts that are broken. Could creating my own boxes to type in cause issues?

I've done that in the past. It doesn't cause issues.

Thank you very much HRQX I guess it's too much to ask for 100% working forms from gov. Have a great new years!

Sorry for all the questions, but every time I open the current form it autofills Part 1. 10.b. to "PRESENT". Not sure how to get around this and based on my reading that part should be for a previous address unless our current physical address is different than our mailing address, so it shouldn't say Present.

The form you are accessing does have some non-fillable boxes from the PC so those can be handwritten. If a field is "pre-filled" like "Present" you can cross it out and handwrite your own answer. No harm in doing so. Yes, you can create your own answer box over the field that is showing that it is not fillable. That would be the forms fileds that are "white" and of course not the fields that are "blue" which are fillable by the PC method. If an address or some other field needs further information, and there isn't enough room to complete your answer, use the section 8 and refer back to the original question. Most have found using this to complete an address that will not fit in the fillable field is then completed in section 8 without any problems.
