Hey all, our case has been approved for expedite the NVC will mail the file to the SA embassy now. I have a question on the I864, as per the NVC site an ink signature is no longer required for the form sent to the NVC. Is it ok then to take a prited signature to the interview or do we still need the original wet signature form, my FIL is sponsoring me. And secondly the embassy needs to see both the Tax transcripts and the W2s, this is fine for our co sponsor, but my husband is the petitioner and will therefore also be giving all the aos info, but we dont have W2 we use 1099, are those acceptable. Thanks in advance!

As much as I know the AOS cannot have a printed signature. It has to have a wet signature but the embassy does not need an original you can provide them a copy of the AOS.

So my FIL can sign the paper and then scan it and email to us and I can print it and take it?

*** IMPORTANT *** Interview Reminders

================================================================================

You already submitted certain forms and documents to NVC. At your visa interview, you must give the

consular officer the original version of each civil document you submitted plus one photocopy for each

person applying for a visa. These original versions will be returned to you.

 The only form you do not need to bring to your interview is the Form DS-260 Application for an

Immigrant Visa. Instead, print a copy of the receipt page from ceac.state.gov showing you submitted the

form online.

 If a financial sponsor submitted an I-864 Affidavit of Support form, you must give the consular officer

a signed version. It can be a photocopy, but the signature cannot be typed or electronic.

 If you do not bring to your interview the original version of all civil documents submitted to NVC, the

consular officer will reschedule your interview.

Please use the helpful checklist on the next page to prepare for your interview. You can also visit

"Interview Preparation - Required Documents" on nvc.state.gov/interview or watch our instructional

video at nvc.state.gov/resources for more information.

For the I-864 you have to turn one in if you have an extra financial sponsor aside from your petitioner right? I am my wife's petitioner and our lawyer sent the I-864 we have no other sponsor so he said we don't need a copy of the I-864 at the time of the interview

Well if your P4 letter doesn't request you to bring it, then you're fine. If they do. Then print out a new version, sign it and bring it with you.
