You'll need to write an attached letter explaining why you've never been required to file taxes.

Just bring an updated G-325A to the interview. You wouldn't have gotten a RFE for that as background checks aren't done on parents or relatives, just the petitioner and beneficiary, so of course that mistake wouldn't have been caught by USCIS or NVC.

Thanks Saylin - as always - I appreciate it a lot.

Do they do background check during the I-130 or NVC stage - I didn't know that they did.

You are right though, they would have no idea that her parents place of birth was incorrect. Actually the city is right but my lawyer's assistant probably got confused between India and Iran.

I will ask her to update a copy of the G-325 A and give it to the officer during the interview.

Saylin and others - I have a question that is bothering me. I spoke to my wife about getting an updated G-325 A (there was a mistake on her parents country of birth that the lawyer's secretary made and we just caught it as we were preparing for her interview). Instead of saying Iran it said India (although the city was right and in subsequent documents like DS-230 etc. it was correctly put as Iran).

You mentioned that I should simply ask her to take an updated G-325A and give it during the interview but my wife is very worried and thinks that she should not give any document and let things be as they are. She is worried that they will ask her additional questions etc.

What do you guys think? If they ask during the interview then she can say that she didn't realize it but most likely they won't ask that.

What I am worried about is if she goes into Administrative Processing (since she is Iranian but interviewing in India so there is a chance that happens), things may get complicated if they use the G-325A to do the background check and find out that the place of birth of her parents was incorrectly put in as India.

We are really confused what to do????

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

My suggestion still stands: hand in an updated G-325A. People make mistakes, tiny ones, all the time. They get that. Something as simple as mis-writing the country of the parents doesn't really matter. It might matter if it was the beneficiary's country, but as it's the parents country, it won't be a problem. I doubt they do much (if at all) background checks on parents.
