Letter to USCIS Regarding A Wrong Answer (Form I-129F)

[Katnissmjy 0]

We need some help... I have tried countless times to contact the USCIS Contact Center to no avail. The automated call won't transfer me to a real person even after asking, instead saying it would have to end the call if I kept asking. Their LiveChat assistance tells me I need to send a letter to the office and let them know of the error and how to fix it, however we have no idea how to format the letter or what to include for it, as well as if we need to fill a whole new form again? The mistake isn't anything too major. We didn't know his mother was from Russia and we put Belarus instead, and that is the only error on our application. How should we go about fixing this? Is it even worth fixing in the end or will it come back to bite us if we don't?
Thank you for your time and we greatly appreciate all the help!

Not a big deal, and it can be corrected at some point down the line, but is not urgent.

If you want, you can write a letter which very simply states “we want to correct the answer to question 36B (or whatever), which should state that Fiancé’s mother’s birthplace is Belarus, not Russia.”

 

Any correspondence you send to the Laguna Niguel address should reference your names, and also include a copy of the I-129 F with the incorrect answer highlighted.

Address of the office handling your case is at the bottom of your I 791 receipt

send a letter to that address and correct the error to say born in russia

it could be an issue later if any benefits are applied for for the mother( probably not but its immigration and they come up as pety sometimes)

send a copy of the receipt with the letter

make sure  the letter itself has the assigned case # , both names ,and both DOB's

and as always keep a copy of the letter with all your immigration documents
