Am I completly screwed

I just came back from Colombia with my fiance signed G325 and Letter. But stupid me forgot that I had some baby oil in my back pack which somehow caught part of my novias G325. Her G325 is still legible but it's obviously looks a little wet. Do I have to get a brand new G325 and get it signed all over again or will they accept it as is.

ElChe A It would be better if you got it replaced. One thing you do NOT need is a reason for the Embassy to delay the process. It would take less time to replace the G-325. If she has a copy (and she should) then have it notarized and send it to you asap. A week in the mail is better then a month delay AFTER they say no.
When we went to our interview, 14 were delayed do to problems with the paperwork. Sounds like your issue could be one of those problems.

NEW ONE The Embassy WILL NOT accept ANY PAPER WITH A "FOREIGN SUBSTANCE" on it. There are signs all over the Embassy in Bogota that clearly state this policy.

Reason is TERRORISM. Remember the "Anthrax" in the letters a few years ago?

GET A NEW FORM SIGNED !!

You don't need it notarized! The only form you will need to get notarized is I134 - much later not now! And you don't need G325a or the letters of intent or I129f notarized. Have her redo it and send it as fast as possible. Good luck

G325s don't even have to be signed by the beneficiary... I signed all G325s (the BIO forms, 4 mine, 4 hers); then I caught some flak in another thread (which I can handle) becuase she hadn't signed hers. Yet, our paperwork is complete, and the interview is set up for Sept 13th.

Did you sign it with her name? Or your own? If you signed her name and they catch it as not matching - that could be fraudulent! If you signed your name - that will be the wrong signature - I think you are stuck between a rock and a hard place - if you squeek by - good for you, but I will NEVER suggest you do that. Do it the correct way - this is the US govt. they can get real upset about not following their instructions just to speed up the process for yourself!
What will happen if they RFE you for her signature and then they put you on AR for two different signatures of the benficiary? I wish you Good luck

I signed my name as the petitioner... I filled 'em out online via the Adobe Acrobat interface, printed them, signed 'em all with my name (I belive the label under the signature line reads "Petitioner") and sent 'em away....and VOILA!!

dude redo the G-325s . . . save yourself the headaches . . . Neonovo I think you may have lucked out on the G-325s; I inadvertently signed hers and couldn't get an interview date until they got one with her signature - it delayed us about a month = that was the explanation I got from the USCIS. - maybe you should have some with her signature just in case they give you a hard time at the interview

Redo the G-325s . . . Ok...I will; taking 'em with me for our Sept 13th interview. A month's delay would be a big bummer...In fact, I had printed an extra set, but already shredded them after I got the 1st notice of approval.

Thanks for the input.

I spoke to USCIS today They told me as long as my G-325a is legible, which it is then they shouldnt be a problem.

DON;T LISTEN, SEND IT IN, BUT DON;T COME BACK HERE CRYING FOR HELP IF THINGS GET ALL SCREWED UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I never said that I was gonna actually listen to the USCIS, I was just reporting what they told me. Some of you guys act like I said something about your mother.
