Joint Sponsors i-864; Photocopy ok?

[bartlettchef 0]

Hi all,

 

Does my joint sponsors i-864 need to be the original one ("wet ink")  they filled out, or can it be a photocopy of their form?  I filed DCF in Bangkok as i live here with my wife, if i can get away with not having my joint sponsor have to Fed Ex an original signed copy of the i-864 it would be nice. I've heard that the NVC recently announced that they do in fact accept photocopies of the joint sponsors i-864, however, my case will not be going through the NVC stage as we filed DCF. I was wondering if anyone has any insight as to whether the USCIS/Embassy here in Bangkok will accept photocopies of the joint sponsors i-864 or if i should just have the original signed copy Fed-Ex'd over here. Thanks in advance everyone.

you do not need the Wet ink orig, you can use a copy
