Letter of intent to marry signature

[Key68 21]

Hello everyone.

When we filed a i129f I submitted a letter of intent to merry with an electronic signature. Has anyone done it before and can it be a reason for RFE? Thank you.

Original signature on forms is usually mandatory so I would do the same with the letter of intent. When we did the K1 we put inked signatures on everything that was required. They may send you an RFE for this or maybe not. Just be prepare if that happens. Also date your letters.

My fiance didn't wet signature it, but did sign it and send a picture of the document by email

The only "wet" signature required is on the I-129F petition itself.  Any and all other evidence can be legible photocopies of original documents

It doesn't need to be a "wet" signature.
