Noticed a mistake on DS260/ Worth correcting?

Hello everyone, I need your advice as to how to approach this situation. Few days ago my wife had an interview at U.S Embassy and they gave her 221g requesting passport and first marriage certificate to be sent through courier service. I made a post on the same day with more details and got an advice from few people. (Please check the post below to understand the full picture before reading the rest of this post)

 

We sent the passport and 1st marriage certificate on the same day. Today I was looking at DS-260 and I found out that there is one mistake which is connected to the 1st marriage which is the date of marriage, instead of 1991, we inputted 1990 as the date of first marriage. However, Names on marriage certificate and date of 1st marriage termination is exact match on the divorce document and in DS-260. Reason of this mistake is obvious, we didn't had this document in hand and made a honest mistake by not tracking the exact date of 1st marriage. The fact that we were previously married was of course declared in DS-260 from the beginning. Lastly, this mistake doesn't interfere with 2nd marriage which happened in 2021 and date is correctly inputted.

 

My question: Would this mistake be considered as misrepresentation? We obviously didn't hide the fact that we were married previously and only mistake on DS-260 is the exact date of the 1st marriage. I wanted to hear your opinion if we should be worried. Thank you!

 

Note: The 1st marriage certificate also has a stamp on it which says ''Terminated on 10/11/2004'' which is the date we got divorced and exact date inputted on DS-260.

Your other thread says to remarried your first wife after a divorce. 
 

It’s surprising that you forgot the year you married the first time. 
 

It’s suspicious but maybe explained by you having 1990 in your mind as the year you met and created a false memory of that being the year you married. 

 

I’m not seeing a material misrepresentation.

Thank you for your reply. Yes we remarried in 2021 after divorcing in 2004.

Yes, that is why we inputted 1990 as it is a year we met each other and since it is an old marriage we couldn't exactly recall the exact date of the 1st marriage. I hope this won't become an issue considering that we didn't hide the fact that we were married before and divorce date for that 1st marriage is exactly correct, names and birthdays also match.

I felt the same but also I am biased since I want to have a positive outcome so it is great to hear the same from third party. Thank you.
