Realized my mistake very late

[okob 1]

Hello!

I came to the US on a K-1 visa, married my partner and preparing to adjust status within my 90 days.

As i was filling out my I-485 and going through the copies of all of my previous forms, i realized i made a mistake on my DS-160 my father's birth date i selected wrong month.

Of course, on my I-485 i put the correct one. 

Would this affect my case in a negative way? 

Also, given this fact, how do i go about this question on I-485 "Have you ever lied about, concealed, or misrepresented any information on an application or petition to obtain a visa, other documentation required for entry into the United States, admission to the United States or any other kid of immgration benefit"? 

Should i answer "Yes" to this and explain the error?

I've read online a bit and that this question is only about willful misrepresentation of material facts. My mistake was neither willful as it was an honest accident nor was it material because providing the correct month of my father's birth would not make me ineligible for K-1.

Please, correct me if i am wrong.

Any help is welcome, i've been worrying myself sick about it.

Thank you

I would put the correct date on the I-485 and let it go.  I don't see any misrepresentation.

No issue whatsoever, it IS NOT misrepresentation. DO NOT answer yes on the misrepresentation question.

As @Crazy Cat
suggests, just input the correct date.

You didn't lie or misrepresent anything, so the answer to that question is NO. You made a simple mistake. Fix the mistake on your new forms and if ever asked about it, you can explain your mistake then. If it helps your worrying, you can add a note at the bottom of the I-485 stating you accidentally entered the wrong month for his birthdate on a precious form and have now corrected it. You probably will never hear anything about it going forward. This doesn't make you ineligible for your K-1, or to adjust status now.

Not a big deal. We made a similar mistake on the I-129F swapping MIL first and last name. We corrected it on the next set of forms and added a note explaining the mistake. My wife became a citizen in AUG and just got her passport.
