Any way to send in an amended G-325A after the fact?

[r060106 109]

Is this at all possible? We submitted our I-130 package back at the beginning of September and I recently noticed an error on my employment section that I don't want USCIS to think is a purposeful lie, leading them to reject my application. It was an honest mistake on our part and I don't want us to get denied because of it. Or would just send us an RFE? Anyone have any input on this? Thanks

I think it'd be an RFE if they find this, but let's see what the more experienced members say.

Ok, thanks. Correction: petition* up top.

Really? No one else has any input on this?

Sending anything to USCIS unsolicited at this juncture is usually nothing more than an exercise in futility as it is unlikely that it would be matched with the file.

Makes sense.

Do you think a mistake on my employment section would cause an RFE or a denial? Or am I overthinking this? It has to do with a period of unemployment that I marked down as being employed. This was due to the fact I was interning for the employer during the school year and took a three month hiatus during the summer to return home, starting back up again in September of that year without filing any additional paperwork. Yet for some dumb reason that was never brought to my attention at the time, the employer said I was "released and then rehired", which I didn't know was the case. I always thought I was still an employee but just wasn't receiving any paychecks. After all, my boss at that office knew all about this and had work ready for me when I started the school year back up.

When they run background checks do you think they are privy to this type of information? I never filled out a new I-9 or anything, so I don't know how they would know. Just curious what people here think might happen to our case. Thanks

The very nature of this process lends itself to paranoia, over-thinking, and second guessing (I was guilty of all 3 when I was in your shoes).

As for your question, logic dictates that if they saw something that they were concerned about or needed clarification on, they would send an RFE instead of denying the petition.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one then.

Well if it's just an RFE I'm fine with that. I just didn't want them to say I lied or committed perjury or something of the sort when that isn't the case at all. Do you think they would even have access to this internal company information if no I-9 was ever filled out again? Thanks

I highly doubt that this tiny mistake would lead to any RFEs or denials.

From what I've read, they use the biographic info to compare it with any hits they might get while running background checks.

Say, a person with a name just like yours committed a crime/violated visa status/####### like that. They run a background check and get a few hits.

Then, they will look at the bio info you provided to determine if you this person is indeed you.

The info you provided will tell them that it wasn't you, but another person with a name just like yours.

USCIS is not IRS to punish you for hiding employment or income or something.

They are simply to determine if you are eligible to apply for a visa for your wife.

Even if they get any hits, people who EWI (entered without inspection), previous overstayers, minor crime offenders/ misrep still get approved. They might need waivers down the road.. but they get approved.

I've read a lot of very complicated stories on immigrate2us.net.

If they get approved (+approved waiver down the road), do you really think they would deny you?

For a super tiny, not-too-important, mistake?

In my opinion, the worst case scenario (doubt it will happen) would be an RFE, which is easy- you just send in an updated form.

Relax!

Thanks Blueberry! You're always so helpful!

I feel a little bit better now.
