Does form I864 need to be signed with an actual pen?

[myaumyau 4]

I am filling up I864 as a sponsor. I am at 6.a and it says Sponsor's signature. I am filling up the form in acrobat reader. Should I actually print out the page, sign it with a pen and then scan and submit? Or can I just type my name in where it says Signature?

It needs to be actually signed. 
people have received RFEs for not signing the form.

I see. Thank you. I couldn't actually even type in there.

Even digital signatures have been rejected!

Print, sign with pen, upload. It HAS to have a "wet signature" as it's called.

wet signature and scanned back into the system. otherwise, it will be rejected
