    2) In the instruction video you didn't put plus in the phone number - is it not necessary?
    3) In Russia people have an interesting form of name - patronymic ("отчество"). Should I put it in the "middle name" box or just leave it blank?

It says if beneficiary lives outside usa in home without street number leave (11a and 11b blank.). She is already here and living with me. What should I put? My address?
    Also, in 12a it asks where the beneficiary intends to live? Since she is here already how should this portion be filled out from standpoint that the beneficiary is already in usa and living with petitioner.
