Hi I know I have to sign on the next page, but what about this part ? Do I write my name in print here or type? Thank you!

Also, do I use UPPERCASE LETTERS to fill out this i-751 form? Thank you so much in advance!

Your choice but filling it in on a computer is preferred. If you are filling the form on the computer, do not use all uppercase letters. If handwriting everywhere, use all uppercase letters.

Hi arken, thank you for your reply. I chose to type on the computer. But I am just not sure about this specific blank whether I should type my name or write my name in black ink here. 

Also, any reasons why we shouldn't use all uppercase letters when typing? Thank you so much!

Does it say you should handwrite your name in ink? No, so why the confusion?

BECAUSE UPPERCASE SEEMS WEIRD TO READ AND FOLLOW AS OPPOSED TO lowercase letter which is standard.

Yep, having first-hand experience about this, I agree.

 

I filled my I-751 form by hand, and that may be the reason my surname was spelled wrong on my NOA1 (lockbox screwed up? text recognition software—if they use such—messed up?). This was a problem that took MONTHS to fix. Had I foreknowledge on matters, I would just have typed information on the form and then printed it 🤷🏼‍♂️

Getting there, slowly but surely...  (I hope )

 

Together (well...mostly the Transatlanticism kind of together) Since 12/2013

I-797 (with My Last Name Misspelled...) Received by Mail 1/2/2021

Biometrics Appointment Received by Mail...too bad I am in Europe right when it's supposed to take place 🤯 6/14/2021

Rescheduled Biometrics Appointment, the biometric technician can't change the misspelled name on file, but he enters the correct spelling of my last name as an alias 8/2/2021

Interview Ready to Be Scheduled 10/13/2021

(Two Days Later) Interview Was Scheduled 😱 10/15/2021

I-751 Interview, Petition Approved 🥳 11/19/2021

Case Status Changed to New Card Is Being Produced 11/19/2021

When USCIS Misspells Your Name:

 

Typographical error form filled on USCIS website 1/4/2021
Contacted USCIS if there has been any progress since THEIR error (Received a Tier 1 tracking number) 2/6/2021
Contacted USCIS again as the issue remains to be resolved (Received ANOTHER Tier 1 tracking number) 3/12/2021
Apparently USCIS chat is worthless; CALLED USCIS, Tier 1 agent promised that a Tier 2 agent would call me 4/28/2021
Received a call from a nice Tier 2 officer who said I may or may not get a correct extension letter, but just in case I would be scheduled an InfoPASS appointment 5/4/2021
Went to local USCIS service center and had to deal with a nasty and entitled customer service agent who refused to give me an I-551 stamp. National Benefits Center is supposed to mail me another I-797 within 7-10 days... So I had to waste my day, taking buses for two hours one-way just to deal with this lady's attitude? 5/7/2021

After anxiously monitoring our mailbox for a few days I DID receive a corrected I-797, w00t! All documents good to go Vaccinated Ready to visit my parents in Europe for the first time in 17 months!!  5/13/2021

The lesson: Don't use the chat for anything complicated, AND keep hassling USCIS for a response...

Got it! Thanks for the clarification! That's true. Uppercase letters are so difficult to read lol

Forms are read by AI/OCR. 

 

When handwriting, PRINT. make sure every letter is  legible and words are spelled correctly (particularly email addresses) and not missing letters.  No cursives. AI should be able to differentiate your c from your e, your D from your O, your a from your o, your lowercase L from your uppercase I, etc. 
 

When printed, don’t use a super small font size just to be able to cram a lot of characters in a box (especially true for law business names that want to include every lawyer partners names in the box). Make sure letters are easily read and very distinct from each other. 
 

Lawyers reading this - just type one single name in the box. Don’t put/stamp all lawyers’ names in the box and then circle one. That’s just really lazy and actually doesn’t hasten processing. AI ignores the circles you make all over the forms. 
 

Don’t write/print outside boxes. AI can’t see anything outside boxes.
