AOS Forms filled by hand or electronically

[Kay&Epi 53]

We are putting my husband's AOS packet together. He has filled everything out by hand and signed it in black ink, however I've seen some post saying it must be filled out electronically. Is this true? Does it matter?

No you can do both.

Hello @Kay&Epi,

 

According to the USCIS website,

Quote

Complete Your Form Accurately

• Don’t forget to sign your form! We will reject and return any unsigned form.
• Use the most current form version. We prefer that you download forms from our website, complete them electronically, and then print your forms to submit.
• Complete the entire form.
• If you hand write your answers, use black ink. Make sure your entries are neat, legible and within the space provided.
• Do not use highlighters or correction fluid or tape. The scanners we use will not properly read information that is greyed out, highlighted or corrected using correction fluid or tape.
• If you make an error, start over with a clean form.
• If filing multiple forms, write your name, date of birth, and A-Number (if any) exactly the same way on each form.
• Pay the correct fee. We will reject forms submitted with incorrect or incomplete fees.

Hope this helps.  For my I-485, I filled in all details electronically, but I wrote the last letter of my second given name as it was too long and it won't fit the box.  It was accepted as is.

 

Hope this helps.  Good luck.

Either will work, but most suggest electronically as handwritten can be hard to read depending on one's penmanship.

The handwritten forms are legible but since it's preferred we will go back and fill them electronically. Just to be on the safe side. Thanks for the info
