I-130 Native Language Name and Address

[Sal225 0]

So when I filed my I-130 online, I uploaded a pdf with my beneficiary's full name in the native language on one line, instead of breaking it up as first / middle / last. 

 

The address also does not have numbers, and they use geographic landmarks. So I wrote the address as how they would which says "close to xxx street", which I did not put in the other sections where it asks for an address since the other sections said do not include it if there is no number. 

 

Do you think that any of these things would cause problems when they do review the case? Should I upload another one to the file (if it lets you) with the name broken up and the address not including the "close to xxx street", or is that just bringing attention to it?

 

Thanks

That should work.  Why not just enter the Arabic characters in the online form directly?

It didn't give that option on the online form. It asked to upload a pdf with the information.

 

So do you think I should upload another one with all the information broken apart on different lines? 

 

Thanks for your time

Do you have official documentation from your wife's home country containing her name and address in her Arabic? 

I would upload one of those forms instead of a form you created. I'm fairly certain the online 1-130 asks for official documents in native language in that section.

ETA: mail addressed to her might suffice. But, I would have to review the instructions on the online form again to be certain.

Either is fine; i.e. the PDF OP made is acceptable.

Better for you to review the instructions before giving incorrect advice.  Official documents are not needed for that section or for any actual section of the form.  Other than  marriage, birth, and divorce documents, no official native language documents are requested, particularly no government document that would have an "address".

Noted. 

I conflated "document" with "official document".

Not sure I'd trust google translate for this

That can work for some languages, but usually the foreigner knows how to write or type their own name and address in their own alphabet/language.

 

Often "direct translation" like you get from Google Translate, is no useful for this purpose.  We are really talking about transliteration, not translation, when dealing with some languages, particularly when it comes to addresses or even names.
