Corrections in I-129F

[conny 0]

Is it ok to have handwritten corrections in otherwise printed I-129F or G325a forms? Can that delayt the processing? Have there been any precedents of denying the application or requests for re-submissions due to this?

I made corrections on mine but only like adding a letter. if you can print out a new one just to be on the safe side you should. I dont think it is that big of a deal though. As long as you can read everything.

We filled everything out by hand, on the government-supplied duplicate forms. I crossed out several words, rewrote them, and it was OK. If you correct that way, just initial next to the word you crossed out.

No problem. All of our forms were handwritten and there were a few corrections made. No questions asked. Simply draw a single line through the mistake (leaving it visible) write your correction as needed and initial it. In fact, at the interview in Kiev, my wife had made an error in the birthdate of one of her sons on the DS-156. They called her to the window and asked her to make the correction in exactly this manner. In general, they do not get too uptight about obvious clerical or spelling errors. At least not in Kiev or the USCIS.

Also in my experience there, and being witness to one other fiancee with a problem in her papers, it seems the people in Kiev do all they can to help you to make sure all is in order. They are definitely NOT trying to kick you out of the system.

I put in handwritten corrections on my I-129F and G-325 forms and I didn't have any delays that I'm aware of because of that. No RFE's.. I haven't heard of any cases being denied or having RFE due to this....

neat and legible is primary... initialling is good practice

You really haven't said, but it may depend on what type of corrections you are talking about. Clerical errors or a wrong date wouldn't be a problem or cause delays. I could think of a couple serious corrections that might cause a red flag or two. (criminal record, intentional (lies) errors on an application, etc).

i handwrote all my forms.. i made a mistake and i just erase it properly. Erasures are no big deal with the visa centers.

Absolutely true. When we were there the staff spend hours with a group from a village somewhere trying to help them get there paperwork in order. Apparently there were lots of mistakes, but nothing missing. Eventually all four people in the family got their visas.
