Rejection letter I-751 "not properly signed"?

[DavidQ 13]

Received rejection letter that "It is not properly signed"?

I am looking at my copies and everything is in order. Conditional resident is my spouse from China. I have looked over everything several times....I am missing something.

Help?

hi

did you both sign it?

are you sure both of you signed it at the correct place?

[DavidQ 13]

Yes we both signed it. Could there be a problem because she did not take my last name?

Her daughter came with her on a K2 visa. I don't see anything that would affect that.

They might have mistakenly thought it wasn't an original signature. Sometimes they can't tell the difference between a pen you write with and printer ink, especially if using a felt tip or sharpie-type pen.

You know what now that I think about it, I think I sent a copy of the document signed not the original. I was looking over the guidelines and may not have sent the orignal signed.

Do I send this back to the original place I filed which is California. The reason I ask the rejection letter came from Lincoln, Nebraska.

Should we make another copy and then sign in blue pen?

US Gov. wants black ink. Use some cheap Bic style pen one with a roller ball point when you sign.

you should try blue ink. My attorney made us sign with blue pen. He stated he had a incident in past that the form was rejected indicating it looked like a copy

Most lawyers and Notaries want you to sign official and legal documents in blue ink as it was hard to scan in a copy and print it out. With new color scanners and color laser printers, the ability to make a very good copy is readily available to most people. So sign the document in blue or black ink using a ball point pen on a hard surface. The only difference between an original signature and a good copy is the indentation made upon the paper when signing the document.

Did they say they would accept a properly signed document? If so, they should have told you where to send it. If no instructions were given on sending in another signed document then you may have to start all over again or file an appeal. I would not just send in a signed form as its chances of getting to the right person are slim to none.

Good luck,

Dave
