Foriegn Fiancee Signatures LOI/G-325A

[kennym 275]

All

I am concerned about the signatures on the G325 and the LOI... My Fiancee signs everything in Block Letters.. Not the normal for a "Signature"..

So it poses some concern that the USCIS may not feel the Signatures are authentic.. Should I get her to notarize those items to add some level of validation to both the letter of intent and the G325A?

I realize from previous posts, notary is not needed, but just dont want to add any delays due to raised eyebrows at the USCIS...

Also, I wrote the Letters in English for my Fiancee to sign and although she clearly understands what she is signing, is this a factor?

By the way she is Colombian and I am in Colombia this week working on the paperwork...

Thoughts?

I'm sure USCIS has seen many 'signatures' in the past, block letters are probably not even going to raise a concern for them

Good luck.

Yes, you should be fine. Some people here even use blue ballpen to distinguish that their signature is original.

All the best!

Yeah, we tend to focus a lot on signatures in the US. My fiance freaked out when she had to "sign" her "signature" on the 325 and LOI. She said, what's my signature??? So after explaning to her how we use them for everything here in the US, including electronically signing your signature at Wal Mart or retail store check-out stands. She practiced for 2 hrs on how to do her signature then signed the forms. It's funny because in the US, we are taught to develop our handwriting signature almost in first grade when we start learning how to write our name.

This is something I asked my fiancee to do before we sent the papers to CSC. I told her in the USA we use signatures a lot for checks, credit cards and many types of documents and contracts. I showed her about a signature when we were together. Then I asked her to practice and start developing a signature for her in Roman Characters. It was more difficult since her native alphabet does not use our Roman character set.

I am surprised that in Colombia they do not have a signature. My ex-wife is from Venezuela and she always had a normal signature.

But I plan to give my fiancee a credit card and travelers cheques etc... She will need a signature in the Roman alphabet.
