Typing out info on AOS forms

[fabulous02 1]

Can I type out the info on the I-130, I-485 and I-131 forms and just print them out? or should I rather print them out and then write the info in black ink? Also if we make a mistake, can we just use a white corrector/concealer and overwrite the information? Should I be very careful to not have any mistakes or overwritten info in the forms?

Thank you....

I would recommend you use the power of the computer and use that to type your info in (and print it out) in a legible manner.

If you do it by hand - make sure it's legible. (I would not recommend using white out to correct something, I would just re-do the entire form. but that's me...)

Type them out to make it easier but in cases where something doesn't fit in a box it's fine to hand write it, just make sure it's legible.

As for white-out, no. Never ever ever use white-out on a legal/official document. If you make an error you may strike it out with 1 or 2 lines through the error (ensuring the error is still visible), and then re-write it. Given the limited space on the forms it's usually best to completely re-write it as you don't usually have room to make a legible correction. As the forms can be saved completed it is a simple matter to open the document, correct the error and re-print.

Another advantage of typing them is that you can save them on your computer to reprint if you need to.
