CR1 visa..

The sponsor/ petitioner in the US and the beneficiary in another country.

 

Is the beneficiary required to have the original Form I-864 signed by the sponsor on hand on the day of the interview? A scanned photo copy not enough ?

I'm not sure why a Consulate Officer would need a wet signature on an I-864. For other civil documents such as Birth Certificates and marriage documents, originals are required.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

May be a consulate specific thing.  However, I fail to see the need for a wet signature. Makes zero sense to me.

Technically not required, but I would get  it to them if possible.
