Major error on ds260

[Annie-Davidson 0]

I was filing out my ds260 with the help of my daughter(petitioner) and I have a friend who is a paralegal so I had told her to wait to submit so my friend can check and make sure everything is good for submission but then I got an email that it was submitted,she said it was appearing on her device that it wasn’t and some sort of glitch in the website(I was experiencing the same thing I was trying to fill it out with my phone but was being signed out and told network something and internet connection lost so my daughter did it on her child’s laptop) so I logged in and saw that it was submitted so I just looked over each question myself and I realized that where it said “current marital status” is divorced when although that’s true,I had gotten remarried.I was divorced at the time she filed but I got remarried about 6 months later. I’ve been told that although she made the error that she can leave it because at the time of the filing I was divorced so it would be fine and that that’s what she should’ve done so the information matches up. But my thing is that although I was divorced at the time of the petition this has been processing for 2 years now and they asked for my CURRENT marital status I’m sure that they know a lot can change over that period of time. So should I contact my embassy for the change or leave it as is? And also I have a minor,I am aware that sadly I cannot have derivatives as an IR5 should my petitioner have selected yes for will she be immigrating at a later day? Or was no the correct selection? This is why I didn’t want it to be submitted because I wanna fully understand and make sure everything is fine. It hasn’t been a week since the submission and I have not uploaded all my civil documents yet I am trying to get this together first since it’s very early on..I’ve also been told that my marriage and putting it there would have delayed my process but I don’t believe that because what for? It’s not like my husband can come along they just need this information..but anyway please help me

DS 260 must be accurate at the time it is filed. If, on the date you signed and submitted the form, you were divorced but not yet remarried then the firm is correct. A submitted DS260 cannot be changed online. When you have the interview , you will be asked if anything has changed and the CO will make the updated changes. Many people move, change jobs, have another child etc between submitting the form  and the interview 

The correct  answer regarding your minor child is No. because of the reason you gave .. no derivative allowed ..

Since noticing the error I emailed the us embassy in my home country and the replied back asking me for the information needed for the corrected a few minutes ago.

K. Glad they responded to you. Be prepared to show documentation of this change at the interview. Many consulates do not make changes ahead of the interview and visibility of documentation

@Annie-Davidson you will need all marriage and divorce certificates anyway to get your visa. 

 

Marriage Certificates 

 

If you are or have been married, you must obtain original marriage certificate/s or certified copies of EVERY marriage.

 

Marriage Termination Documentation 

 

If you were previously married, you must obtain evidence of the termination of EVERY prior marriage you have had. Your evidence must be an original or certified copy of one of the following documents: FINAL legal divorce decree, death certificate, or annulment papers.
