I-129F Letters of Intent

[Katnissmjy 0]

Hello!!

My fiancé and I plan to submit letters of intent as proof that we are able and plan to marry within the 90 days time. However, we are not sure if we need to submit the original copies with our physical signatures, or will a photocopy suffice?

We want to file as soon as possible and I won't be able to visit him again until the summer. Would he have to mail his to me or can we submit reprints of our letters?

Thank you!

Hi,  my fiance sent out the original with our physical signatures but I can't say for sure that it will be accepted with a photocopy if the signature is visible enough. I'd say to be safe send out the original

 The regulations do not require that the person signing submit an “original” or “wet ink” signature on a petition, application, or other request to USCIS.

When determining whether a signature is acceptable, officers should review any applicable regulations, form instructions, and policy to ensure that the signature on a particular benefit request is proper. USCIS does not accept signatures created by a typewriter, word processor, stamp, auto-pen, or similar device.

Photocopy of hand-written signatures is fine.
