I-864 quick question...

[Damaris 0]

I am probably being over-analytical...but I don't want to have to reprint a bunch of papers.

In the I-864 instructions, it says: <<If you do not print your name on line 30 and sign and date the form on line 31, the intending immigrant you are sponsoring cannot be issued a visa or be granted adjustment of status.>>

Does this mean on line 30 it has to be hand-written? Or can the name be typed in and printed out and then just signed?

Does anyone know for sure?

One more thing..if you whited something out and rewrote over the white-out...that's ok right?

Thank youuu!

You're right, you're being over-analytical.

The form can be hand-written or typed. Either one is acceptable. As a test, try to type on the "signature" line. It will not let you. If it was required to be hand-written (such as a signature for example), the line would not be fill-able. I would be very leery of using white-out on the form since it is a binding contract.
