Q: How to correct a mistake on immigration form after it's been sent?
I sent away my immigration package last Friday. It arrived at the Lockbox facility in Chicago yesterday morning. After over checking my copies, I noticed a couple mistakes. I forgot to write down my Class of Admission on form I-131. I also forgot to write down my i94 number and my current USCIS status on form I-485.
One thing that makes me worried more than anything is that I used the wrong code on I-765 question 16.
Will they deny my package or will they accept it and send a letter which tells me to correct the mistakes.
A: It might get rejected (though I doubt this). For the I-485, you may get sent an RFE, or you may make it all the way to the interview and you can fix it at that point. As for the I-765 and I-131, you may get an RFE or the EAD may get issued with the wrong code. You can try and send notice via Fed Ex or call the USCIS National Customer Service Center.
