Q: HELP!!I accidentally e-signed the beneficiary's name instead of the petitioner's on Form I-130 while filing online?
my sister is sponsoring my mom and I through two I-130. After she prepared the forms online , they were passed to me for payment. I noted that the e-signature page were not signed, and I accidentally put my mom and my name on it and proceeded to pay. However, the application only states that my sister prepared the forms herself.
Q-1 & 2:
Would it be in my best interest to withdraw the application completely? Would withdrawal affect our new petitions?
Q-3
Alternatively, should I draft a letter to USCIS upon receipt of the Notice and Action and explain?
Q-4
I am concerned that this might be considered as willful misrep, but per my research this is a) not willful and b) not material based on the rules on USCIS website
A:
You can wait for the USCIS receipts to be issued and then forward an amended version with the correct signatures of the FORM I-130 that was electronically filed.
Good luck to you.
