Electronic signature on intent to marry

[redmist 10]

So, I'm pretty pooped. Apparently you cannot sign the intent to marry digitally and I did. I didn't and still don't have a printer at the time to print the document, sign, scan and forward to my fiance to send off our package with. 

Kind of struggling with beating myself up about it and at the same time kind of being upset that we were not being informed about this by the attorney firm we chose. Because really we paid them so that mistakes like these wouldn't happen. 

I guess I just assumed it would be fine. When I got my passport, I had no choice but to digitally sign that thing either. Maybe it's a different thing because theres a representative sitting across from you watching and it's a device supplied by the town hall I had to go to?

Anyway, I e-mailed a representative from the firm about it and they said, yea, most likely it's gonna result in an RFE. Jaw to the floor, since that's kind of my worst fear. Frantically told my fiance who in turn then called them directly. 

They said, that if they notice, which they might not, it would take us literally minutes to re-submit the document signed by me with a physical signature. It shouldn't put months on our processing. 

Regardless, it really (removed) sucks. I'm gonna print out and scan the document elsewhere and pay for it in the case, that we do get an RFE. Get it over with as quickly as possible.

 

I guess this was kind of a vent but also to let others know who were not aware of this, to not do what I did lol. Just recently I saw somebody inquiring about it, which led me to e-mail them in the first place. Also, please don't be mean to me about this, I'm beating myself up enough as is.

Yet another example of lawyers messing up on minor stuff. I can’t tell you how many of this I see on VJ… they should really refund you some of the fee to be honest if you do get an RFE. Sorry it happened - let this be a learning moment not to put all the trust in a lawyer for future processes you’ll come across (AOS, ROC etc).
