My fiance filled in most of them himself, and I filled in what he couldn't on mine and e-mailed those to him. He printed it all off, gathered it all up into a well-put-together package and sent them to me. I signed what i needed to sign, added my supporting documents to his, and mailed off the petition.

Of course, none of that matters much since we've abandoned the petition in order for me to go live with him. ;)
