Guys, help!
What color pen has the signature on the I-864a has to be?

The instructions say "print in black pen" but my father in law said black ink signatures may be printed that is why he signed in blue.
I am only asking because I read somewhere a few weeks ago, that they want BLACK ink signatures and that blue ink ones are frowned upon.
I know, I know, silly question but I do not want another hiccup!! :(
Our Embassy is strict!

Thank you!!!!

Since you already have them anyway, I'd submit those to the embassy and see if they accept them. If not, then you have your answer. Either way, you'd have to wait for black-ink signatures to arrive in the mail if you made them re-sign the I-864As before you submit them to the embassy or after the embassy requests them. I'd take my chances here and give them what I have.

Thanks! But they are completely wrong :)
My Father in law (joint sponsor) filled it out as "household member" and my mother in law (household member) signed it as sponsor! Yikes :)
I should have the correct ones on Tuesday! :)

Oh my goodness! Didn't they fill the initial ones (for you) correctly? I guess they got temporary amnesia since the last time they did it ;)
