How are petitions filed online signed?  

You type in full name.  That becomes the digital signature.   OP said he typed beneficiary's name instead of petitioner.   You can print a copy of the completed form as it would appear on paper.

I would upload unsolicited evidence in the form of a letter admitting the mistake.

 

I can imagine the petitioner being summoned to a field office for biometrics and/or an interview to verify that the petitioner is alive and did in fact file I-130.  

That would be my advice too, but no way to know if it will work.

I can actually see how that could happen when just typing a name, vs hand writing one’s normal signature..

Yep.  I'm not sure you can change a signature (digital or otherwise) with a separate, external letter.

It's time to find out though.  This is another reason why terminology and learning the process are so important.  Yes, the foreigner is the one applying for a visa, but not until the petitioner's petition in their behalf has been approved.

 

When I petitioned for my ex wife, I entered all her information as beneficiary and checked the box for spouse, but when asked for MY spouse's name, I entered "None" because I was so used to that after 16 years single.  THAT mistake was so common, USCIS just overlooked it.  After 17+ years around this process though, I've never seen or heard of THIS mistake.
