What was the mistake?

"The US immigration process requires a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and a significant amount of money.  It is quite a journey!"

Senior Master Sergeant, US Air Force- Retired (after 20+ years)- Missile Systems Maintenance & Titan 2 ICBM Launch Crew Duty (200+ Alert tours)

Registered Nurse- Retired- I practiced in the areas of Labor & Delivery, Home Health, Adolescent Psych, & Adult Psych.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Depends on that the error is.  Not sure what yours was.

 

You can bring it up in interview or even right when it starts.     We changed my wifes file name to her married name because here new passport came in.  That saved us $580.

Inform the officer you need to make a correction at the very beginning of your interview.

 

Depending on the severity of the  mistake,  it will affect the outcome and how the CO will choose to handle it from that point forward.  For example, if a simple date mix up---usually no biggie.  If you failed to mention past filings/past marriages/etc., can be a bit more serious.

 

Shame you didn't spot the mistake by your attorney when you read over the form for accuracy before signing it.

Thank you for ur help, it’s just a mix up on my marriage certificate, it should be 5 October but was written 16 October and my daughter name who is already in the USA He omitted her native name.. That’s all, so what do you think
