Priority date has typo

[Movin on New Life 3]

Our paperwork has a priority date of Jan 2005, which is obvisiously a typo as we did not even file until Sept 2005. Is this a problem? we are now at NVC waiting for interview in Montreal... NVC says "shouldn't be a problem" they can not change it USCIS has to.. Should I contact them?? We really don't need anymore delays, especially at this point

I had this exact same issue with my CR-1... and it did slow us down, for about two or three weeks. I too was told on the phone that it wasn't a problem... yet it was.

Our priority date was SUPPOSED to be January 25, 2005, but when they filled out our NOA2 in Vermont, it stated "June 25, 2005", which at the time hadn't even HAPPENED yet. I found out right away, and called both NVC and USCIS and was told it wouldn't be a problem, blah, blah, blah... Then I started to see on VJ that people were getting their Assignment of Agent form, and I wasn't, and I called and got a strange recording, and was finally told after about four calls to NVC that they had to forward my paperwork to the Department of State in DC for approval ("additonal administrative processing"). After pulling teeth, they did confirm it was an issue with a priority date. I then called USCIS, threw a temper tantrum because it was their fault, and got a fax number for VSC, and was told to write them there with ATTN: SUPERVISOR and let them know of the problem. I did this for three or four consecutive days, then got an ammended NOA2 (two of them actually), and things got back on track.

So, yeah, while it may not be a big deal, and the people on the phone assured me it wouldn't matter, I still had my file pended for administrative processing in DC. However, NVC cautght this right at the beginning (assuming because when they tried to enter the date into the computer, it kicked it out as the date hadn't arrived yet). This was also for a CR-1, so the process was a bit different.... Hopefully, things will go smoothly for you...

Jayke Thank you..we are for the CR-1 also... do you by any chance still have the fax number so I can fax it as well? That would be a tremendous help!!!
