lyscra Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Ok, so for my second newbie question- Does my fiance sign her name on the letter and others in her native language, or in Pinyin which she has never done before? Thanks in advance -Sy Link to comment
Lowen/Zhang Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 The signature should be in pinyin except for where it specifically ask for it in the native language. However my wife signed both pinyin and Chinese on the same line. I had sent her, by scanning into the computer and emailing to her, a signature guide to practice with. Link to comment
david_dawei Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 if she signs it in chinese, it's not going to matter too much since she may of never ever written (signed) her name in pinyin before... But the best practice IMO is to sign the name in both pinyin and chinese. Link to comment

My wife signed everything only in Chinese but there was no letter of intent. I wouldn't delay filing a petition or form to mail something back and forth to China for a second kind of signature.

cosmiclobster Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 My wife has signed ALL of her documents (US and China) in her native language. This is her real signature. We have had no problems and I would like to see someone try to forge her Chinese signature!!! Link to comment
Randy W Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 If someone has to teach you an alphabet, tell you what language to use, or to alter your signature in any way, it isn't your signature. If they want her signature, she should sign the way she normally does. If they ask for her name in pinyin, they are not asking for her signature. Link to comment

But I will guess that some sign, some print, some do it in pinyin, some do it in chinese... IT DOESN'T MATTER... In the end, choose what your most comfortable with. I suggest both. If they ever get to security checks, I'd rather they also had her chinese character name referenced somewhere... Link to comment
