We didn't think anything of it at the time, but when we handed in our documents the officer looked at them and said "Is this just a copy? You need to sign this again" and watched as my wife and I resigned the bottom of a couple of our documents. To her, the signatures looked like they were printed with the rest of the document. Again, a good example of why walking in to hand in your packet is the best option, but if it's not available at your office SIGN IN BLUE INK

I actually put a BIG staple in the middle of the package and let them pull it out -- it has never been a problem.

You may have had a bad attorney, but you strike me as what us lawyer types call the "client from Hell." Lawyers DO have your interests at heart [at least immigration lawyers -- the big law firms often don't have immigration skills in house, or if they do, they will have it quite small, or they will consider it as something to outsoure to a "boutique" law office -- the point is that immigration law is NOT a lucrative practice area. Those of who do it do it because we happen to like it.] As lawyers, we get enough frustration with our DAILY battles with CIS, ICE, DOL and EOIR.
