N/A or Blank on I130/130A

[mugatu300 8]

Hello all, we are filling out the I130 using the online system and the I130A using a pdf editor and had questions about fields that don't really apply to us. Should we write in N/A or leave them blank? The instructions state:

 

"Answer all questions fully and accurately. If a question does not apply to you (for example, if you have never been married and the question asks, “Provide the name of your current spouse”), type or print “N/A,” unless otherwise directed. If your answer to a question which requires a numeric response is zero or none (for example, “How many children do you have” or “How many times have you departed the United States”), type or print “None,” unless otherwise directed."

 

The fields we are considering are:

 

I130

• Address line 2 for employers and residences (we have no need for address line 2)
• My wife's middle name (she has none)
• My wife's travel document # (she only has a passport #, no travel document #)

 

I130A

• A number, if any (we dont have one)
• USCIS number, if any (we dont have one)
• Zip code for all addresses (she lives in Canada so only the postal code field is relevant)
• Parents middle name (they dont have one)

It depends n the question.  In each of these cases, I would leave them all blank.

Never leave ambiguous information is a box.  Example:  If you put "N/A" in a middle name field, there is a possibility, you will see NA as the name on the visa.  That is my philosophy.  Of course, it is just an opinion.

N/A for everything except for NAME. u put NA on name, you probably get literally NA on that name

and for address, since address line 2 is optional, i leave it blank

so it really depend on the question

 

most people only have either 1, either passport or travel document and not both especially if your wive is in overseas

 

and if you dont have a number for something, means u dont have that number. u dont require to have to fill a section if u dont have USCIS online number for example

So  you are suggesting N/A for the following:

• My wife's travel document # (she only has a passport #, no travel document #)
• Zip code for all addresses (she lives in Canada so only the postal code field is relevant)
• A number, if any (we dont have one)
• USCIS number, if any (we dont have one)

 

And blank for the following:

• Address line 2 for employers and residences (we have no need for address line 2)
• My wife's middle name (she has none)
• Parents middle name (they dont have one)

 

Is that correct?

Leave them all blank even though their instructions say to put N/A? Not sure what to do lol...

 Put "N/a" in any or all if you want. I gave you my rationale for leaving the middle name fields blank.  My wife has no middle name.  I left it blank.  There were no issues.  Good luck.  Out.
