Error on G325A (Beneficiary's)

[Sam and Ben 2]

So today, jumping the gun a bit, I've been looking through and practicing completing some of the forms I know will be required for Packets 3 and 4.

A lot of this information is, of course, redundant to what has already been put into the inital I-129F form, so I've been simply wandering back and forth to that package to fill out dates, locations, etc.

And that's when I noticed that the start date on my present employment is incorrect. Lovely. It's three years off the mark (says 2003 when it should say 2006).

We won't get an RFE for this, as they wouldn't know, so waiting for that to come in the mail isn't an option. So how do I go about correcting it?

Also, even more importantly perhaps... since this is the form that is sent off to all major U.S. Departments, how much time have I added to this already dreadfully long process with my silly little error? =(

You dont mention if you are the beneficiary or the petitioner.

Either way... Honestly, you are probably worrying for nothing. I think we all probably found some sort of error on our paperwork only after the fact and the truth is, many things dont end up being that important afterall. Especially being it was so long ago and not really relevant to your current situation.

You can call the USCIS to try and have this corrected but history has shown us here that even if you do get in touch with someone, it's unlikely the information will even get changed. I would just be sure the correct information is filled out in the future.

I mentioned in the thread's title. I'm the beneficiary.

Should we call just to ensure that it's, I don't know, recorded to show that we did notice and make an effort to change the error? And I'd assume it'd be the petitioner calling, not myself?

Assuming you don't get an RFE for it (and you likely wont) - I wouldn't DO anything at this point. Probably the best time to correct this would be at the Embassy/Consulate when you have your interview - explain (at some point) that an error was made and ask if they could correct it (or allow you to correct it). (That's what I would do.)

There isn't any harm in doing this? I mean, if I bring it up at the interview, they'll know that I obviously noticed the error sometime previous to that moment. There won't be any backlash from not letting them know ahead of time?

I mean, I know that MY employment history obviously isn't the be all and end all, due to the fact that I'm not coming over for work, etc. If it was HIS, it'd be a much bigger issue I'm sure... still, I'm worried, and like the rest of this process, wanting to ensure that I don't get any surprises come interview day.

I do apology greatly for my paranoia..

I understand your paranoia...you have been reading VJ.

Like others have said, just mention it at the interview, remember that the person interviewing you is an actual human being and i'm sure they will understand that someone made a little date error on their paperwork.

Haha, yes, a human... with my key into their country... >.<

Alright, then I guess I'll attempt to stop freaking out and will just wait it out. They won't know until it after I receive Packet 4, when I mail in the DS-230 (with the CORRECT dates), so if there's an issue, I'm sure they'll mention it then.

Thank you to everyone who replied. And yes, VJ doesn't necessarily help the paranoia... but it sure it nice to have others to turn to for help. This place is an absolute Godsend.

And are you the beneficiary or petitioner?

I'm not expecting an RFE for it (because really, can't see how they'd know the difference until I send in the rest of the paperwork asking the same questions), but unless I decide to continue using that incorrect number, I know they'll notice it... it's just whether or not they want to cause a stink about it, heh.
