Made a goof on your immigration application? Don’t panic! Here’s a quick guide to fixing it:
Before Submitting:
-
Catch a mistake? Simply cross out the wrong info and write the correct info clearly.
-
Keep corrections neat and avoid using correction fluid/tape. If unsure, start over with a new form.
After Submitting (but not approved):
-
Write a letter explaining the mistake and providing the correct information.
-
Include your details (name, alien registration number, receipt number) and send it to USCIS.
After Approval:
-
Fixing errors after approval can be trickier. You might need a new application or USCIS help (if it was their mistake).
Key Takeaway:
-
Double-check everything before submitting!
-
Need help? Consult an immigration attorney or accredited representative.
