Hi I know I have to sign on the next page, but what about this part ? Do I write my name in print here or type? Thank you!

Also, do I use UPPERCASE LETTERS to fill out this i-751 form? Thank you so much in advance!

Your choice but filling it in on a computer is preferred. If you are filling the form on the computer, do not use all uppercase letters. If handwriting everywhere, use all uppercase letters.

Hi arken, thank you for your reply. I chose to type on the computer. But I am just not sure about this specific blank whether I should type my name or write my name in black ink here. 

Also, any reasons why we shouldn't use all uppercase letters when typing? Thank you so much!

Does it say you should handwrite your name in ink? No, so why the confusion?

BECAUSE UPPERCASE SEEMS WEIRD TO READ AND FOLLOW AS OPPOSED TO lowercase letter which is standard.

Yep, having first-hand experience about this, I agree.

 

I filled my I-751 form by hand, and that may be the reason my surname was spelled wrong on my NOA1 (lockbox screwed up? text recognition software—if they use such—messed up?). This was a problem that took MONTHS to fix. Had I foreknowledge on matters, I would just have typed information on the form and then printed it 🤷🏼‍♂️

Getting there, slowly but surely...  (I hope )

Got it! Thanks for the clarification! That's true. Uppercase letters are so difficult to read lol

Forms are read by AI/OCR. 

 

When handwriting, PRINT. make sure every letter is  legible and words are spelled correctly (particularly email addresses) and not missing letters.  No cursives. AI should be able to differentiate your c from your e, your D from your O, your a from your o, your lowercase L from your uppercase I, etc. 
 

When printed, don’t use a super small font size just to be able to cram a lot of characters in a box (especially true for law business names that want to include every lawyer partners names in the box). Make sure letters are easily read and very distinct from each other. 
 

Lawyers reading this - just type one single name in the box. Don’t put/stamp all lawyers’ names in the box and then circle one. That’s just really lazy and actually doesn’t hasten processing. AI ignores the circles you make all over the forms. 
 

Don’t write/print outside boxes. AI can’t see anything outside boxes.
