Just sent off I-130--realised my father-in-law's birthdate is incorrect

[derwydd-llyn 0]

We sent off our I-130 four days ago. I am the US citizen and my husband is the beneficiary. I was extremely meticulous with compiling it, and we were confident we had done everything correctly. However, we just found out today that my father-in-law's birth year is actually 62 and I wrote down 63, as both my husband and I had been told by both his parents that they were born in the same year. 

 

My question is, what can we do? 

Is it possible to send in an Affidavit now with clarification to avoid an RFE? 

Will that misinformation create a hang-up in our petition? 

We're worried this small incorrect detail will slow down our process and we'd like to amend it preemptively, if possible. 

Thanks for your advice.

I seriously would not worry about that as long as you have the father in laws correct name and place of birth. As long as your info is correct and birth year and place of birth and place of marriage I wouldn't be worried about that. They will pay particular attention to you and your husband's birth dates,  documents providing place of marriage and other supporting documents so you should be just fine. Hope that helps.

At this point, trying to send anything to USCIS unsolicited will probably be nothing more than an exercise in futility as it is unlikely that it will be matched with the file.  Going forward, use the correct year when it is asked and if the discrepancy is ever asked about, explain what happened.
