Requests for More Information. We may request that you provide more information or evidence to support your form. You
may submit legible photocopies of documents requested, unless the Instructions specifically state that you must submit an
original document. USCIS may request an original document at the time of filing or at any time during processing of your form.
If you submit original documents when not required, the documents may be destroyed or remain a part of the record, and USCIS
will not automatically return them to you.

8. Translations. If you submit a document with information in a foreign language, you must also submit a full English translation.
The translator must sign a certification that the English language translation is complete and accurate, and that he or she is
competent to translate from the foreign language into English. The certification must include the translator's signature. USCIS
recommends the certification contain the translator's printed name and the date and the translator's contact information.
Translations prepared and signed by an RSC employee working for the U.S. Department of State or under contract will be
considered as complete and accurate.
6. Biometrics. You may be required, to provide fingerprints, photograph, and/or additional signature to verify your identity,
obtain additional information, and conduct background and security checks, including a check of criminal history records. You
will be informed when and where you will need to provide these biometrics. If you fail to provide these biometrics as requested,
USCIS may reject, close, or deny your form.
5. Signature. Each form must be properly signed. For all signatures on this form, USCIS will not accept a stamped or typewritten
name in place of a signature. If you are under 14 years of age, your parent or legal guardian may sign the form on your behalf.
A legal guardian may also sign for a mentally incompetent person.
