OK, here is again a date question since my husband works abroad and I need to file for ROC. Can we sign the form now (he is in the USA) and send it in 2 weeks (when he is abroad). Would that be a problem for them to receive forms that have been signed 2 or 3 weeks before? (as long as both dates are in the window)

My reason for not sending it now is that I don't want to go to the bio appointment alone when my husband is abroad since it is REALLY far...

NOA1: 8/8/2008

NOA2: 12/30/2008

Interview: 01/04/2009 Passed

POE: 08/2009

Removal of Conditions: filed July 2011

I don't think this will be a problem. How long will your husband be away for? even if you get the bio letter and he's not home, you can reschedule. You can send it now, usually the bio letter comes within 2-4 weeks from your NOA (letter of 1 year extension). You will get your NOA within a week after sending it (usually). so if you send it now you might get your bio appt might be sometimes in July? take a look at the other filers to get a better estimate.

Good luck

I dont see any problem at all with signing now and sending later - as long as there is a signature and a date.

IMO i also dont think it would hurt (and who would know except you!) to sign now and date it for a date closer to when you send it off.
