Question about G-325a form

[Freemind81 1]

When my fiancee signs the section at the bottom where it says: "Signature of Applicant", does she sign it in English cursive or Japanese characters.

I know the most common sense answer would be that everything is to be done in English however, her passport signature is written in Japanese so I wasn't sure if this would create confusion/problems.

Thanks!

Signatures can't be translated. She signs the same way she would in any other instance, even if that means using characters from her native language.

Really?

On the form there is a section where it says you can fill in your non-Roman name.

But I thought the Applicant signature had to be in English.

The signature needs to be her original signature. If her original signature is in Japanese, then she signs in Japanese.

Signature is just a distinctive way to write ones name,

and it can be in any form..as long as its consistent.

I have some Asian friends in US, and they continue to use their

Asian signature in everything despite having been in US for many years.

Whichever the signature (English or Japanese) she will use in the initial filing,

just have her continue to used it for rest of the filing so that its consistent.

I am Japanese and the beneficiary. I wrote my "Kanji" name for both "Signature of Applicant" and "If your native alphabet is in other than Roman letters, write your name in your native alphabet below". That is my passport signature too. I had no issue.

When you write their name, such as at the top of the form, you use English characters. If there language uses non-English characters, then you fill out the box asking for the name in non-English characters.

Your signature is your signature and never changes.
