Embarrasing mistake...

[guinness1969 0]

My wife & I filed our I-130 at the Texas SC August 23. When I filled out my G-325a forms, I got my Dad's birthday wrong! I put the 23rd of the month instead of the 28th.

We still haven't recieved our first NOA, I can't help thinking that my mistake will mean that it will be returned un-processed.

We payed by money order too, so I can't find out if the payment has been accepted or not.

I would kick myself but I guess my Dad will do that for me when he finds out that I don't know when his birthday is.

Does anyone have any ideas that might mean that the last few weeks won't have been a complete waste of time?

All the best everyone

I wouldn't worry about the mistake with your father's birthday. On the form it says Date, City, and Country of Birth (If Known). I didn't realize until afterward that I made a mistake with the city where my mother was born. She was born in Wichita Kansas and I put Hutchison {for some reason I always get them mixed up} and I had no problems at all, not even an RFE.

As far as the money order goes, there should be some kind of an 800 # on your receipt that you can call to find out if the money order has been cashed. Of course, it could depend on what kind of money order you got. I don't know if the USPS money orders have that on there, but I know the Western Union and the Moneygram ones do.

I wouldn't worry about the date to much...my husbands mother and father never celebrated their birthdays so they only knew the year they were born and I was worried until I talked to my lawyer and he told me that the year is fine. I hope this will put your mind at ease.

i made a stupid mistake on my I-130 and after i realized it, I called USCIC and the lady on the phone fixed it for me. She told me it will take 45 days to process the change but nothing to worry about.

That shouldn't be a problem. Good luck

I doubt that will be a huge problem. I think they use it as part of the background check, but I can't imagine that such a mistake would be any huge problem. It's not like you forgot your wife's birthday, then you'd be in trouble. I think you can call USCIS and change it. And maybe that touch will get them to look at your case.
