Help! I found a typo!

[karmasxocean 0]

We've already had our I-129F approved and sent to the embassy and we were getting ready to send in packet 3 when I was looking through my packet 1 for a date and found a typo in question 18: "Describe the cirsumstances under which you met..."...My response was: "Initially, we met in March of 2004 in an online chat room. Our first face to face meeting was in December 2005 when I took a 2 week trip to visit him in Ontario. In May 2005 he came to visit and stayed with me until August 2005. The last visit was in December 2006/January2007 in his home in Ontario."

The bold dates are supposed to be 2006....I screwed up...Does that mean the embassy will send it all the way back? Should I call them and let them know I messed up?

If you were approved, I wouldn't worry about it. Even if you put 2005, it still is within the 2 year meeting requirement.

So what happens if he goes to his interview and they ask a question about his visit in 2005....and he says it was in 2006 and it was a typo...what happens then?

Unless they have other reasons to be skeptical about your petition, your fiancee can probably just tell them the correct info at the interview if they ask about it. They wont deny you fiancee for accidentally providing the wrong information, only if it was intentional.

Nothing, because you will backstop that statement with a passport stamp and airline ticket evidence.

Thanks for the help...I'm just really worried I messed up this whole thing now..The whole wait time and the money we put into it and everything just for it to be denied for a mistake...Should I call the embassy and let them know about the typo or just wait until he has his interview?

Don't worry about the mistake, in the big picture, this is a minor oversight. If it even comes up in the interview, you can correct it immediately.

Best of luck to you guys!!
