Quick Question About DS-230 Part 1

At the bottom of page 2 it asks for the signature of the applicant. My question...is it neessary for me to send it to my wife to sign or can I do it since it does not require a notary? If so, will a faxed copy of her signature be sufficient? For a previous document that required my wife's signature the NVC said they just need a signature....I signed for my wife no problem.

most of what I see says that they want all original signatures, no copies. I had to send a copy to my wife for her to sign. I just really hate how much it cost to send just a letter size fedex/ups to colombia.

God Bless America!

this may be cheating, or not... but if you have a scanned image of her signature, you can merge that onto the document using a word processing program and fax it from there. (and print a copy if you want an "original"). That's how I "sign" documents I fax from my computer (where it's all "electronic" paper).

I mean if you're doing something against her wishes, I could see how that could be trouble, but if it's something she would sign anyway or you're signing on her behalf, I don't think there'd be a problem.

But let your conscience (and your legal counsel) be your guide.
