Cr1 Signatures

[Fornbey 1]

Hey y'all!

So I'm the beneficiary of a CR1 atm, and I read that you had to sign all of the documents prepared with ink.

If so, how does that work? Do I print it, sign it and then send it in?

What if I am abroad? do I print it, sign it, scan it and then send it in?

How does all of the signing work in this? 

Thanks for the help.

You will have to sign them originally (i.e. you cannot sign them electronically, or use a cursive font, etc.), but as to submitting documents, you can scan them.  So print them out, sign them and then scan them.

 

Good Luck!

I read that if I live outside of the US I don't have to sign the documents.
Is this true?

You don’t have to sign i130 A, correct.

She's the beneficiary, so does not need to sign anything related to the I-130 petition.  She doesn't even need to be the one who types or writes the information in the I-130a.  It just needs to be the correct information.

You would read this in the I-130a INSTRUCTIONS.  It's a form, not a document, and if outside the US, you are not required to sign it or to provide a passport style photo.

Agree, I was thinking of a K1 letter of intent.

 

Thanks.
