Signature on forms

[CdnMN 0]

Does anybody have any experience with what to do about signing the forms when the beneficiary is a minor child?

For the DS-3032, I was told by a customer service person at NVC, that as his father, I should just send an e-mail to NVC and let them know I would be acting as my sons agent...all I needed to do was include the NVC case number, name and date of birth for both the beneficiary and petitioner. I did this and also mentioned that proof of who I was (birth cert etc) was included in the I-130 package. It got rejected by NVC. The e-mail response said that either the petitioner or beneficiary had to inform them who would be the agent. My wife sent an e-mail naming me as the agent and they accepted that.

So, what about signatures on the rest of the forms (DS230 for example). I'm not sure about the response I got from NVC, given their advice mentioned above. They said I could sign it and note beside the signature that I am signing for my minor child. Hmmmmm.

Anyone have any experience with processing for minor children?

Thanks

Applicants and Petitioners: Applicants and petitioners must sign their respective applications and petitions. The signature must be an original signature. Parents and legal guardians may sign for children under age 14. Legal guardians may sign for individuals who are incompetent to sign. In such cases, the filing must include evidence of parentage or legal guardianship if not otherwise required for the immigration benefit being sought.

From the signature requirements page on the USCIS website.

I'd include a note explaining that you're signing for your minor child.

I signed for my minor children and just put mother in brackets beside it.

I saw this page and even spoke to a customer service rep who basically said the same thing regarding the DS3032. They still bounced it back. Sometimes the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing...or even that itr is supposed to be doing it.

Hopefully, submission of other forms will go smoother.

Thanks.
