We made a mistake in our timeline, we put the wrong date that we first talked on the internet, and our proof showed another date. Do you think if I call them to tell them about the error (so they can touch my case) or just leave it until my case is touched or get the rfe? hehehe

Well, I know USCIS won't accept additional supporting documentation for an I-129F unless an RFE is issued (I tried). This is a correction of existing information, so I'm not sure if it would be in the same boat or not.

Thank you... That's sad, I hope they will skip that part and approve us :)), I think I can correct it when I go to the interview

Now I'm confused as well ... checked "My Case" on USCIS site to see the same "case was recieved on 22nd Dec" as always ... first thing confusing me is that it says last updated Dec 30, but our NOA1 date is Jan 4 ...

Also my fiancé found a wrong information (same zip code for 2 different locations and they were putting in the wrong one)

He called them to get it corrected and they did.

But it still says last updated Dec 30 ... so does it only count as an update when you get rfe or approval???

 

Thanks for answers in case someone knows ...

Hmmm im not sure... thats a tough one.. is it a big difference betwen the two dates? Maybe they wont notice... my passport has been valid for less than 5 years it will be 5 in april and i didnt send a certificate if citizenship and still got approved... 

USCIS did not make a mistake. Your passport was fine. It's a common misunderstanding. The requirement is that your passport is unexpired and that the passport had a validity period of at least five years from the date the passport was issued, not how many years you have had your passport. You could have had the passport for one day and still qualified. If you had lost a passport overseas and they granted you a one Year passport then it would not be valid. 

 

From another VJer:

"Validity period" does not mean the same as "Valid until".

As long as the validity period (from ISSUE date to EXPIRATION date) is at least 5 years you are good to go.

Yes we are at CSC as well. Let me ask my fiancé for the number when hes wake, but think he called the customer service ... I dont know if you can get them to fix wrong informations in your timeline you admitted... the thing they fixed for is was a mistake they made.

Was wrong on the NOA1 letter in the adress ... I found it out just last night that he called them for it, but didn't have a chance to talk to him since then.

Thanks @NAT2016,

the link only shows the date the case was created and updated.

But the VJ timeline asks for date for case received and date for case sent to consulate.  Neither of which are on that link you gave me.  

I'm just not sure how we are supposed to know unless we call.

the status changes when the case is sent to the embassy - and when it arrives.

Ok, cool (sort of).  Thanks for the info.  I think I just missed the boat on checking the case tracker.  Didn't get the link until yesterday after all was said and done.  My case said, 'Ready', yesterday.  And DHL says package shipped yesterday too.  

Thanks again and good luck!  Have a feeling yours will happen way before mine, haha!  I'm ok with that though. 

Cheers,

I probably won't be heading to interview now until late April - as I am taking a trip in mid-April and will need my passport and can't risk it being tied up at the Embassy.

 

I replied to one of your earlier posts before I saw this one - so you can ignore my post about the update.  I think 'Ready' means that your case has arrived at the embassy/consulate - perhaps the dhl package you are tracking is for cases after yours?  I tried to track what I thought was my package - and then my status changed to ready - indictaing that it had already arrived in London - and that the NVC case tracker was maybe a little late in being updated.

 

I can't move until the beginning of July - but keen to start packing and getting my life here tidied up - don't really want to do that until the visa has been approved so was hoping to have the interview soon.  I can't risk having it after 22nd March and being without my passport so will wait another month now I think...

It was right in the first line of our timeline.. Thats crazy we checked multiple times very carefully before we sent our packet and last week when I was reading our packet again I figured out the mistake. Our first time talking was Jan 17th, 2015 but we said we talked in Jun 27th, 2015... T_T . And then We submitted a proof that we first talked in Jan 17th... 

I wouldn't worry - it's a simple mistake and one number difference - I think they can see how the mistake could have been made.  I have just filled in my ds-160 and filled in my divorce date as 2001 instead of 2003   they should have the copy of my divorce certifcate and thw correct date is on my i-129F so I expect this will come up at interview.  I'm not sure if it was a typo on my part or if i misread my certificate when filling in my ds-160 (the 3 is not very curvy on my certificate and is handwritten - it could look like a wobbly '1').

 

I wouldn't worry - it is ten days difference. And quite clearly a possible slip whilst typing.
