Should be sending this to Department Of State during that stage of the process along with other requested evidence.

You need a "wet signature" copy of this at the interview, no?

The form is legally binding, signing it and sending it to NVC along with the financial evidence should be enough, NVC processing and aproving it will be noted to the interviewing officer, there should be no need to present it again at the interview.

As of Dec., 2016, you are correct - there is no need for an un-scanned, "original" copy

 

Ink Signature No Longer Required on Affidavits of Support (12/28/2016)

 

Starting January 1, 2017, the National Visa Center (NVC) will accept photocopies and scanned versions of signed Forms I-864 and associated documents. Please note that the form must still be signed; typed names and electronic signatures will not be accepted. NVC will only ask petitioners to submit an amended Form I-864 to NVC if the financial sponsor’s name and personal information are missing; there is no signature at all; or if there are missing pages.

. . .

This improvement will simplify the submission of financial evidence in support of a visa application, and decrease the rate of visas refused only because the required documents were not available at the time of the visa interview.
