I-864 "wet" signatures and dates

[awaywego 28]

We are both abroad (DCF, but same AOS paperwork as NVC), so the US parents will be acting as joint sponsors. My understanding is that the I-864 and I-864A forms need "wet" signatures, so can't be transferred electronically. I was thinking it'd be handy if we could bring back the forms ourselves the next trip home to avoid the cost and worry of international tracked document post. I'm not quite sure whether this plan works.

 

A couple (hopefully quick) questions: 

 

1) Which AOS documents need to be originals, and which could potentially be transferred electronically?

 

2) Is there an age where filled-out forms become too old? For example, if a form is dated 1 April, and the interview is on 1 July (made-up dates), could the date on the paper be an issue?

 

Thanks!

Answers:

1. Just the form, photocopies are acceptable for everything else.
2. No as long as the information does not fundamentally change.
