Our attorney received the RFE on Feb 10. He prepared a G325a form for me and asked my husband to mail it to India for my sign. My husband said he would scan it and e-mail it to me and I can sign it and send it back but the attorney didn't agree. Anyway, it has been 3 days already since we got the RFE and my husband couldn't mail me the form because of terrible weather conditions. I asked him to scan and e-mail the form to me, which he did and tomorrow I am going to mail it to my husband with the other required documents (copy of the marriage record and its translation in English, recent photographs of mine). Is it okay to sign on the copy which my husband scanned and sent to me or I only had to sign the same paper our attorney gave my husband?

 

 

I'm the beneficiary, wife of USC.
12/30/2012: Got engaged.
1/16/2013: Got married in India.

I-130:
2/28/2013: Attorney mailed the I-130 from a U.S. address.
3/4/2013: Priority date, NOA1.
11/6/2013: Case was transferred to Nebraska Service Center.

1/6/2014: 60 days of transfer are up, put in an e-request, given 30 days' time. Contacted the senator. Senator asked to wait till Feb 6 and if nothing then she will do something.
2/5/2014: Website status changed to RFE.
2/10/2014: Attorney gets RFE. They need G325A and photos of both me and husband, original marriage certificate, copy of marriage record and it's translation.
2/15/2014: Mailed the requisite documents to husband.
2/19/2014: Documents received by husband.
2/24/2014: RFE mailed.
2/26/2014: Case status changed to RFE review.
3/6/2014: After 367 days, NOA2.

After approval kept calling NVC but NVC always had one reply, file was not in their system. Husband too called USCIS National Customer Service Center and was told case was sent to NVC.
4/2/2014: Write to NSCFollowup to know about the status of the petition.
4/10/2014: Put in a ?service request with USCIS starting with OVP to locate case.
4/16/2014: Reply from NSCFollowup that the U.S. law prohibited that office from responding to anyone other than the petitioner and to have the petitioner contact them.
4/18/2014: Sent email to NVC Research to locate the case.
4/22/2014: Petitioner sent email to NSCFollowup
5/14/2014: Receive email from NVC Research that they do not have a record of receiving the petition.
5/16/2014: Congressman's immigration caseworker contacted supervisor at NSC who said the petition is pending and will be dispatched in two weeks.
5/27/2014: Petitioner received response from NSCFollowup that the case was pending an internal extended review. Really?
6/19/2014: USCIS case status change, "On June 19, 2014, we shipped this case..."
7/1/2014: Case received at NVC.
7/14/2014: NVC case number assigned.

You can sign on the scanned/printed copy. What's important is it has your original hand-written signature.

Double-check the details on the g325a too. Better to send 2 copies, in case it gets lost in the mail en route to USCIS, at least your husband has another signed g325a on-hand. ;)

Why don't you fill it out yourself, print it out, sign and mail it to your husband?

You cannot submit a copy with a scanned signature. Signatures must be original.

Best to use a blue pen, too. Just in case.

I researched it prior to signing and quite a few people got RFEs saying signatures were not original.. And they were, actually, but signed in black ink. So I decided to sign mine in blue. Easier to tell a signature is authentic, and not scanned, then.

Why are people scanning and sending things to the beneficiary and petitioner back and forth. I know I filled out the form myself and used (FOXIT) and it saves all the forms we use for immigration. Even used an expandable form (for people with those long names and addresses ) I still have those forms saved on my computer. I emailed them to my husband and he reviewed changed and sent it back.

For G325A my husband didn't sign it its not required we put a note on it that it would be "signed at interview". That's a fact confirmed from USCIS. And I found that tidbit out here on VJ.

Just a thought to save postage and time.

From now on your VJ Member name will be verified. If the name you put on form to be added to spreadsheet comes up not found, you will not be added to the spreadsheet. If you don't have a timeline you will not be added to the spreadsheet.

I don't see anything about blue, black or any other ink n G-325A instructions, anyways smile.pnghttp://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/g-325a.pdf

I used a black sharpie pen for my G-325A . Received an RFE stating that my form was a copy . Which it wasn't , but I could see my error in using that pen . Advice I got at the time and which I use since . Use a soft magazine under the form and sign . This will leave an imprint on the back of the form . Then the person at USCIS can clearly see it is an original and not a copy .

Maybe the OP might want to do this when signing . This way you can use the proper black ink on the form .
