"Wet Signatures" For N-600 Physical Custody Evidence

[butmajor-leagueas 8]

Hi, trying to figure out if a wet signature is required for stuff like physical custody documents if it is a letter for instance from a medical provider, school, etc.?

 

i.e. does the person who wrote that letter for you have to provide a wet signature?

For the original, yes, but since the N600 is an online form, it would be a scanned copy.

 

Good Luck!

Thanks, I guess I gotta reach out again to the organization who wrote the letter and ask them to provide one with a wet signature instead...

On second thought, probably not a big deal.  I remember we rarely dealt with wet signatures, even at the consulate stage and had no issues.

 

Good Luck!

That's what I was thinking too, but I am kinda scared / worried if they'd say in the end that it is not "good enough."

 

Plus, the physical custody evidence I have from the year I derived U.S. Citizenship from my parent is quite limited and extremely unavailable, since it is documentation from around 20y ago when I was a kid...

Many forms ask for wet signature even if it's then scanned into digital format. It's not a bad idea to get wet signature.

Indeed.

 

Getting a wet signature document and scanning it is diff vs if it never had a wet signature in the first place.

By the way, @butmajor-leagueas there's this thread where people are discussing the N-600 and whether it's worth applying for it. Could you share your reasons there for applying for N-600?

 

Thank you

I responded but didn't go into much detail, unfortunately. My apologies, but I just don't want to think about it too much since I'm... exhausted.

 

I hope that I can finalize everything for my N-600 Application soon, submit it, and have a painless and speedy adjudication so I can be completely done with USCIS for good...

I really appreciate your insights there.

We rarely get anybody in your situation. Usually, people wonder about it around the time getting first passports for their children, and many don't understand the value.

 

Keep us posted on your N-600, I hope you get it quick!

Thanks, and yeah, the reason why people in my situation are rare is since most other INA 320 citizens (and even INA 301 / 309 citizens) are probably oblivious about it. Even I didn't know about this nuance until around a year ago when I realized that my mom had a CoN, my dad has a CoN, but I have... an ancient permanent resident card?

 

Then, I went into a rabbit hole and was kinda disillusioned after seeing that a country's system and lawmakers have even allowed things to be like this. Especially when an INA 320 citizen would need this to be sorted out the most. We were children when our parents went through the immigration process. We likely never filled out a single immigration form, so throwing us into the deep end for such a form in itself is ridiculous.

 

My two cents to the naysayers on this forum is that even if they don't want to file their child's N-600 application, at least have a complete application ready for them when they turn 18. Have all of the documents needed, especially the ones around legal and physical custody which are extremely difficult to find many years into the future if they haven't been collected previously.

 

And maybe their 18 year old child might be able to even qualify for a fee waiver since... I mean... I don't think a lot of 18 year olds make a lot of money. At least I didn't.
