You will be notified of the RFE via email. Fix the mistake and send it in ASAP with the new barcoded letter.

I sure hope your wife sent you some blank, signed DS230 forms!

Please submit a completed copy of form DS-230 Part I, (Application for Immigrant Visa and

Alien Registration - Biographic Data) for this applicant. In reviewing the form that you

submitted, we note that the section pertaining to applicant residences from the age of 16 is

either blank or incomplete. The applicant must list all places lived for at least six months since

reaching the age of 16. There must not be any gaps greater than six months. You will need to

complete and submit a new form with the changes. Your visa application cannot be processed

until this form is complete.

A gap exists in your residence history of more than six months. When completing the

information in this section, please refer to the following instructions below on Police

Certificate(s):

*Police certificates are required for each visa applicant aged 16 years or older, based on

where each applicant lives or has lived previously.

*Police certificates are also required from all other countries where the applicant has resided

more than 12 months. Present and former residents of the United States should NOT obtain

any police certificates covering their residence in the U.S.

*Generally, applications for police certificates should be made directly to the police authorities

in the district in which you resided. The police certificate must:

*Cover the entire period of the applicant's residence in that area, and

*State what the appropriate police authorities records show concerning each applicant,

including all arrests, the reason for the arrest(s), and the disposition of each case of which

there is a record.

*If you have any questions about where or how to apply for police certificates in other

countries, you may communicate directly with the U.S. consular office processing your visa

applications.

NOTE: Police certificates from certain countries are unavailable. Detailed information is

available from the NVC or the nearest United States immigrant visa processing post.

From what I am understanding they are pointing out that once you complete the list of all places lived since the age of 16 (with NO gaps in the dates) IF there are any countries that you have not already covered by police certificates then you must also supply those. Good luck!

Take heart, this isn't the most stupid RFE ever but is certainly the most common DS230 related RFE ever.
