Do you need to sign every page of an EB-2 NIW petition?

In an EB-2 NIW petition you do not sign every page, only where the form requires it; follow each USCIS form's instructions carefully to avoid jeopardizing your submission.

In general, you do not need to sign every page of an EB-2 NIW petition. The signature appears where the form requires it, typically in the designated sections and on documents that explicitly call for one.

A signature at the end of a form certifies that the information provided is true and complete. That does not mean every attached sheet needs an individual signature, unless the instructions for that specific form say otherwise.

To avoid mistakes when assembling your package:

  • Read the instructions for each form and its attachments carefully.
  • Check whether any supplemental declarations or documents require their own signature.
  • Make sure dates and required fields are filled in alongside the signatures.

Because instructions can vary by form, it is worth reviewing the official USCIS guidelines and, if in doubt, going over the package with a specialist before submitting.
