I have a quick question, i filled out the form N-400 but then they sent it back that it wasnt signed put i had printed my name on the signature block, so do they want me to handwrite the signature and not print the name or what? am trying to understand it that way because they sent it back so your help will be greatly appreciated

cur·sive (kûr“s¹v) adj. 1. Having the successive letters joined together: cursive writing; a cursive style of type. --cur·sive n. 1. A cursive character or letter. 2. A manuscript written in cursive characters.

Cursive is the word you are looking for, even though the N-400 doesn't explicitly state that is precisely what they want. Best to sign your name exactly as you typed in at the very beginning of your application, full formal first name, full middle name if you have one, than your last name.

John Joseph Smith, would be an example of this if the board recognizes this font, but use a black ball point pen.

This board did not recognize the hand written type of font I used.

NickD.. sorry, couldnt help but giggle at your post... looked like a court transcript. "Let the court recognise that this board did not recognise the font I chose..." hahahah. Off OP's topic, I know, but I had to giggle

Yes, in the signature, you need to hand-sign it and not a typed or image signature.

But, your honor . . . I typed the three XXX in there myself. I even used a special font. Oh, we didn't know YOU typed that. Our mistake. Here is your US Passport.

Just when you think you've heard it all, somebody manages to lower the bar once more.

Is this a great country or what?

In Colombia and Venezuela, X's are common for signatures, so they make you put a finger print on each document. The old fashion kind leaving your finger tips black with ink.

Could be we are suppose to be a higher educated country. I use to have extremely neat print when doing hand drawings, but way out of practice with everything done on computers today. Wive has a very artistic signature, told her, she can't use that on her application, certificate, nor passport, just write out your full name. She didn't like that.
