Form I-129F - Questions 41 and 38a - 38h

[LMK 0]

Hello,

 

Me and my fiance are having a little trouble with clarity of a few questions on the form: Does anyone know what to put or what you put on yours? Thanks so much for your help in advance.

 

• Question 41: I was born in the USA so checked the box on question 40a. However, when it asks 'Have you obtained a Certificate of Naturalizaton or a Certificate of Citizenship in your own name?' does this apply to a US citizen born in the USA? I don't have anything apart from my birth certificate and passport as proof of ID - do i click Yes or no??? Its quite unclear with this. Or do I just leave this blank?

 

• Questions 38a - 38h: My fiance last entered in the USA in January 2020 and left in June 2020 due to COVID, and hasn't been allowed to visit since. 
  It states 'If your beneficiary is currently in the US, complete Item Numbers 38.a. - 38.h." She has her most recent I-94 and her I-94 Arrival-Departure Record - do we need to fill in these questions, even though she is NOT currently in the US?
•  

Thank you all once again! Much love!

You answer questions literally. There’s no trick questions, they ask you quite straightforward questions.

 

So your answer to Question 41 is No since you did not go through naturalization process or obtain citizenship through your parents. You were born in the US. 

 

Questions 38a-h: it asks “if your beneficiary is currently in the US”. She’s currently not there, so no, you don’t need to provide that info. Otherwise they would have said “if your beneficiary has ever been in the US”.
