“USCIS rolls out New ❌Signature Policy applicable to all type of Forms being submitted to the agency with applications/petitions”
Key pointers:
- Effective July 10, 2026
- Scan copy of original wet signatures form page permitted
- Original if requested later by USCIS and is not available, the case can be denied based on this basic deficiency
- Fees will not be refunded
Best practice:
- Submit original wet-signed signature pages like the old days
Please note the implications on
any petitions like I-485 due to this signature issue could be between getting your permanent residency v. status issues due to denial.
