Hello all,



My fiance lives in Nigeria and I want to know if the I-134 form has to have a wet/live signature or can I scan it to him? Where he lives is virtually no mailing system and expensive to DHL. I can try to find a family member or friend to transport the form if it has to be a live signature but if it does not, I don't want to go through those pains.



Thank you

AOS is for the sponsor(s) to complete , it must have a REAL signature(s). And it shouldn't have to sent to your spouse to be, but for the petitioner to complete on their behalf.

We are not at AOS stage yet but waiting on NOA2 so I am gathering docs and see that he has to have the affidavit for his interview. I am completing the form, just wasn't sure about the signature...if it has to be the original one I sign or if I can just email him a copy to use. But I'll try to get the original transported to be on the safe side.

I'm sorry I thought the i-134 was the Affidavit of Support form. There was a form my spouse had to sign. I can't remember what it was, but I scanned and emailed it to him, He signed it and sent it back by Postal mail, it took about 2full weeks to get to me in the states.

I think I got the "AOS" mixed up...I thought you were referring to "Adjustment of Status", my mistake. As I was looking at the 1-134 form, it appears that me as the petitioner has to sign it to agree to provide support to my fiance once he gets here. I just wanted to know if it had to be a wet signature or if I can scan it to him. I think the wet signature is the best route from the feedback.
