USCIS Accepting Forms with Electronically Reproduced Signatures

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that the agency will permanently accept electronically copied forms and documents containing original signatures.

This means USCIS will accept scanned, faxed, photocopied or similarly copied forms and documents with an original “wet” handwritten signature. Individuals and entities must hold on to copies of the original forms and documents because USCIS may request for the original documents with the “wet” signatures at any time and failure to provide original forms or documents upon request may negatively impact the decision on the individual/entity’s immigration matter.
