Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Form I-140 was not properly signed. The petitioner used an electronic or digitally produced signature, which is not accepted by USCIS for paper filings. The lack of a valid, handwritten signature (or a copy thereof) nullified the declaration under penalty of perjury, and the Director was not required to provide an opportunity to cure the deficiency.
