My Fiance signed and dated this form in blue ink and the I-129F needs to be in black will they be picky about that... he already mailed it to me from U.K.

Don't worry about it at all.

I don't think so! As much as I remember, my boyfriend signed his in blue too! no problem at all!

Just wondering, I know you are supposed to fill it out in black ink, but where does it say that it needs to be signed in black ink? We signed everything in blue ink. Actually, I'd thought that you were supposed not to sign in black ink because with the black ink they might assume that it is not an original signature, but a copy or a fax...?

Line one...on general instructions says please type or use black ink.

Yes, I read that. We typed everything in black ink, but inserted the original signatures and the date in blue ink, because some people here on the forum said that they got RFE's for using black ink for the signatures (USCIS' explanation was that they could not see whether the signature was original or just a copy/fax.) Can't find the link right now, sorry. Oh well! Too late now anyway, though I'm sure everyone will be fine!

It's fine.

Black ink no issue

Blue ink shudnt be an issue

Personally I rather not take any chances

and signing in blue ink to avoid RFE coz caseworker thinks black ink is not real signature well that is very interesting

A little research would reveal multiple threads on this topic.

OP, it's fine and perhaps even preferable that he signed & dated the forms in blue ink.

If you make a black and white photocopy copy of a document with blue ink it becomes a photocopy with black ink.

Not sure if you can submit a photocopy although. Maybe they require the original. Might want to ask some of the more experienced people here.

Best of luck,

All signatures must be originals...photocopies are NOT accepted (hence the RFEs when the caseworker thinks that black ink is a photocopy).

Forever Waiting - line one asks for typing/print in black, but we would never type/print our signature - it would be an oxymoron. hence allowing signatures in blue.

Now to split hairs further .........with a little VJ research we can see that blue sigs are accepted, i assume the date may also be in blue?

Of course you would never type your name as with any important binding document, no one said to do that. The OP asked where in the instructions did it say to use black ink and I replied per the instructions. We typed every single form online as we felt it looked neatly prepared and easy for the CO's and whomever to read with no given errors and singed all signatures in black. Many applications get approved and some don't and get that RFE, but oh well it happens.

The op (as previousl quoted by you) asked where it says to SIGN in black ink...we all know we need to write (print/type) the information such as names and addresses etc, in black (as correctly quoted by you in line 1, general instructions). I was simply clarifying for the OP that it in no place does it talk about the actual signature. (Not that I have heard of anyway).

And you are absolutely right, some get approved with black signatures, some don´t, and it is frustrating for all of us trying to take the best steps to be with our loved ones. I was simply trying to answer the OP´s specific question.

for those reading later....i signed in blue. no prob.
