Woops! Ink Colour??

[Carin Lynne 0]

Hello,

I am double checking everything in my AOS package and realized that I've used blue ink when it says: "(use black ink)". Will there be any negative consequences to using blue ink? Do I need to fill in everything again?

Thank you so much!

Maybe. Fill it out again with black ink to be on the safe side? What do you have to lose? 10 more mins of your day?

Well, if it says to use black ink and if you haven't sent your AOS package yet, why not re-do it?

If you can, it's even easier to complete your forms directly from a computer, so everything will be printed in black (and less risk of confusion as it won't be handwritten).

I read someone had their packet returned to them for signing in blue ink. I can't find it for the life of me, but it does happen at the discretion of whoever has your case.

I always think that, if they are as picky as I am, I would return a package that did not follow instructions. Part of my OCD, I suppose.

I doubt this. You are probably confused with them returning it for signing in black ink (and thus thinking its not an original copy -- which happens often) or filling in the form in blue ink.

Complete the form in black ink, sign in blue to show it's an original signature. All my stuff has been signed in blue ink. This is traditional for legal documents.

To sign? No. If you completed the form in blue, maybe because they want the form completed in black, signed in blue is fine.

Agree!! That has been my SOP.
