Information about beneficiary in their native written language

[Lana and Tom 1]

Hello,

My husband I are close to finishing  the I-130 Online petition.

I do have one question that might be a bit specific about "Information about beneficiary in their native written language".

I, the beneficiary, was born in Russia, but I have been living in Germany for most of my life and do not even speak Russian anymore. Do I still need to add a letter in Russian, as it officially is my native langugae?

Thanks for your help,

Lana

looking at the I 130 the only thing in native language is name and address

so your russian name will be in Russian

and your address will be in German as that is where you live

They are talking about native alphabet, which is Cyrillic.  So, in this case, the only thing in Cyrillic will  be the name.  The OP can get some help with that, if needed.

 

Address will be whatever it is, using the "Roman Alphabet".

The actual heading of the question is. "If the beneficiary's native written language does not use Roman letters, type or print his or her name and foreign address in their native written language.?

 

Example:  Vladimir Putin in native written language is Владимир Путин

Thank you.  I will ask my mother to write my name in Cyrillic then. I have changed my last name when I was 16, so I guess they are talking about the last name that is written in my birth certificate?

Normally yes, but if you changed your name, it could be more complicated than that.  Was your new name ever written in Cyrillic?  If not, ok, but you'll need to provide documentation of the name change too.

No, my new name (my stepdad's last name, very German name) was never written in Cyrillic. I already provided documentation (original and translation) of the name change attached to our  I-130.

Actually, since "your name"  (Current name) is not written in Cyrillic, just enter "Not Applicable" for the Native Written Language section.  Actual circumstances and the tense of the question matter.
