DS-230 signature

[sichuan red 5]

My fiance sent her ds-230 without a signature. Will GUZ kick it back or will they let her sign at her document intake/Interview?

i would suggest sending in a new P3 package with a cover letter explaining the situation.

You probably should send GUZ an email asking them directly what to do. They are usually very quick to respond.

i thought, for a K-1 visa, the DS-230 Part I, is SIGNED on interview day, in front of a visa officer? Yes? No? (I'm gonna reread the OF-169 instructions, just to certain)

Yup, my bad, sorry - K-1 visa applicants sign the Part I signature block, then mail it in (CR and IR fill out but not sign part II)

James has the right idea - to send off a new packet, with the DS-230 signed on Part I.

As long as the form is completely filled out other than the signature I don't think it will be an issue. GUZ lost our DS-230 so my wife ended up signing the copy she had at document intake.

DS-230 part 1 is signed before it is submitted to the NVC. DS-230 part 2 used to be signed in front of the VO at the interview, but that doesn't seem to be the case now. Several people recently have asked about this because their spouse didn't sign anything at the interview even though the letter says to bring the original. It was never handed over during either the document drop off or the interview. My wife wasn't sure if she signed a copy that the consulate had at the document drop off, but when I emailed the consulate they said they had everything they need.

ya, it's the diff between a K-1 and CR-1, that DS-230 usage, signatory.
