Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to personally sign the Form I-140 with a valid handwritten signature. The Director found the signature was created by a word processor or similar device, which is not permitted. The AAO affirmed that electronically created signatures are invalid for this type of filing, and the Director was not required to provide an opportunity to cure the deficient signature.
