I129F

[Bruce and Han 0]

Hi,

I have a situation, When I filled out the I129F, somehow I inadvertantly put my fiancees birthday wrong, I put 28/12/1978, her birthday is 24/12/1978. I don't know how I made this mistake, but I did. I found out about the error when my fiancee recieved her packet 3 from the consulate. I asked her to look over all the papers to see if everything looked ok. She told me that on the I129F that the birthday is wrong but on the G325A the birthday is correct. I decided to email the consulate and let them know that there had been an error made on the birthday, Here is what I sent to them:

Dear Info unit staff, Consular section,

I would like to inform you that there has been an inadvertant error on the I-129F regarding Le Ngo Ngoc Han's birthday showing her birthday as 28/12/1978. Her correct birthday is 24/12/1978. The G325A has the correct birthday. I would like to apoligize for the error.

Thanks for your time.

Sincerely,

Bruce Dougan Jr.

Sort and sweet and to the point. I put all the petitioner and case number info at the bottom as they request when you email them.

I sent the email to them on February 10, 2006. I have not yet received a response. Any ideas on how this will affect the petition and the process ahead?

Thanks

When NVC received the I-129F they ran security checks based on your fiancee's name and birthdate. When your fiancee apply for the visa, the consulate will notice the discrepancy on her birthdate. Then they will delay issuing the visa pending a redo of the security checks by NVC. The delay might be a week or longer.

There is nothing the consulate will do now until your fiancee has her interview. And always write dates in the MM/DD/YYYY format unless the form specifies otherwise.

Good luck.

They already did the security checks but will now have to redo them base on the new birthdate. It could take a week or longer.

What you should do is confirm that the birthdate for your fiancee is incorrect in the consulate's computers. Call the visa office at 202-663-1225 and ask them what birthdate they have in their computers. If it's correct, then no worry.

You can try, but I don't think the visa office can change the birthdate in their computers. That visa office number is purely informational. I don't know for sure but I think only the consulates or NVC can change or add visa data.

hi ya

now ya got me wondering if mine will be ok...when i was over this time round i was looking at all the paper work that my robbie had sent in...i noticed he did the same thing but my year is wrong...but we also sent in a certified copy of my birth certificate and we were approved.. so we are assuming that with having my birth certificate enclosed in the packet they realised it was a typo ....

phew!!!! just looked at my packet 3 details and they have put my correct birthdate on it ...was a tad worried there for a bit...

take care

kath

If your petition is at the embassy you made it past the USCIS RFE stuff. The beneficiary could point out the error to the consulate officer otherwise just make sure you fill it in correctly when you do the AOS. Good luck
