<p>Hi there. I'm essentially finished with my commonapp and will be submitting it either today or tomorrow, in time for the ED deadline. However, as I was reviewing it a final time, I ran into a problem filling out the Parent 2 information. Here's the issue:</p>
<p>My parents were never married. My mother and I immigrated to America eight years ago and I haven't had contact with my father since. During the time we did live in the same country, I still barely saw him. So, I don't know where he currently lives, works, or what university he graduated from. However, the commonapp does not allow me to leave the occupation and degree fields blank. Choosing "Unknown" under parent type takes care of that issue, but I don't think that's the way to go, seeing as I do know my father's name. </p>
<p>I will be submitting a non-custodial parent waiver to all the schools to which I'm applying.</p>
<p>I'd really appreciate a quick response to this. Thanks in advance!</p>
