K1 paperwork, printed or ink

[tcelieb 0]

Hi! I am new to the process (26F) engaged to my partner (28M) from the UK. He is currently in the UK as he had to go back before violating any travel visa restrictions. We are working on filing the paperwork but I have seen some instances in which the application is supposed to be filled out by hand, and some that it can be done by filling it out digitally. I am also seeing there are some parts of the application that need to be signed. Does it need to be wet ink? if so he will need to print the form once completed and mail them to me in the US so that I can then mail them in. so does the ink need to be wet or can it be done digitally?

 

trying to avoid as many obstacles in thing long waiting game as possible. thank you so much for your help in advance!

the form itself can be filled out by typing in a PDF editor (like Adobe Acrobat).

But you can always fill things out by hand in black ink if need be. Just need to be sure that it is neat and legible.

 

From the I-129f instructions, you cannot type out the signature, it has to be hand written in black ink

"You (or your signing authority) must properly complete your petition. USCIS will not accept a stamped or typewritten name in place of any signature on this petition"

Typed on a computer is best.

 

For signature, why would your fiancé (the beneficiary) sign? It’s only the petitioners signature that’s needed on I-129f.
