Ink Signature or Photocopy for Translations

[Na3Na3 3]

Hi everyone!

 

I need to get some documents translated for my fiancee to bring to the embassy. For the I129F I used RushTranslate and that worked pretty well so Id like to use them again since they specialize in this. 

 

My question is, does the translator's signature have to be in wet ink? Or can I use a photocopy? What have other people done? It would be much easier to use a photocopy, but I dont want to risk it either. The bigger issue is that DHL is super far away from where I live so if its not necessary Id rather not have to ship it out. Thanks!

A careful read of the instructions will tell you that all evidence submitted to the uscis should be legible photocopies unless an original is SPECIFICALLY requested.

Thank you so much! But would that include signatures? Like does the translators signature need to be wet?

"Wet" by definition would indicate original document. The only "wet" signature required is the one on the i129f form itself
