DS-156 - Signature date format

[Freighthouse 10]

So my gifted attorney signed the DS-156 form at line 40 and used the wrong date format. The form specifically indicates that the format should be dd-mmm-yyyy. He used d/mm/yyyy.

I am probably nitpicking, but just to be sure, I ask - Is this a problem?

I know that we insist on doing just about everything in the US differently than the rest of the world (d/m/y as opposed to m/d/y) but I really want to be careful to avoid ANY mistakes or problems that could mess this up.

Like a couple of crazy people, we have scheduled the wedding 3 weeks after our interview date. (When we were making the arrangements, we thought we would have plenty of time to spare, but unfortunately that turned out not to be the case)

I would have moved the date but it's a big affair. And now I am rambling.........

So - dates: Does it really matter?

If he used numbers for the month then it could be a problem as they wanted 30-JUL-2012 and it would appear that he used 30/07/2012 that would be confusing if it was 2/07/2012 for July 2, 2012. It looks like February 7, 2012. If the day is greater than 12 it will not be as confusing. It will depend on how picky your reviewer is at USCIS and whether they care about the attorney's signature or not. Sorry I cannot be of much help, but you'll just have to see what happens.

Good luck,

Thanks Dave. I suppose we will see. I called him (his assistant) and they insisted that they do this every day and it is not a problem. He used 6/30/2012.

Yeah, in that case the date is obvious so I am betting you will be fine. I hope I am right for your sake.

Dang I mistyped it was 6/11/2012 so the only obvious thing is that its not November yet. This stress is awesome!
