Simple question (I think) - Block Letters?

[willnv]

So I thought I had read everything through a million times, until I discovered in the guide it says that all forms must be completed in block letters. I figured this must mean they want everything written in CAPITAL LETTERS so I just spent an hour changing everything in my pdf forms, after I had already printed everything and was going to submit it tommorow. Just out of curiosity I decided to see what google said about block letters and I went to a wikipedia page that said that when forms ask for block letters that doesn't mean it has to be CAPITAL letters it just means it can't be in hand writing. Ive done everything in the pdf forms and personally I think that CAPITAL letters look alot messier then how I did it originally, also they give you a dop down list sometimes for things like maritial status, and their just written normally. So should I just go ahead and submit the stuff Ive already printed normally or print everything out again in CAPITAL letters? Also another quick question, when the say write "Not Applicable" in the sections that do not apply, do they mean in the first box for that section or every single box. Im pretty sure its just the first box for a certain section because writing "Not Applicable" in every box would just look ridiculous. Jeez I wish they would make things a little more clearer.

I don't think it matters at all whether you write in all caps or not when you are filling out the PDF's directly.  It's mainly for people who are filling out by hand that they don't write something illegible that immigration can't read.

Lowercase are actually easier to read than all caps which is why programming code is normally written in all lowercase.

Thanks, thats what I figured to. What about the "Not Applicable", every box or just at the begining of a section?

Unless they say you don't have to fill out that section, put n/a everywhere just so there is no doubt.

We didn't fill out in capital letters either, and they have deemed me eligible to sponsor!  No worries!  Just hope that your writing is legible.
