Q: I passed my N-400 interview, but one of my travel return dates in my N-400 form is off by 1 day. What should I do now?
Hi,
I passed my N-400 interview this week. I was just looking at my passport stamps yesterday and found 1 return date on my N-400 form is incorrect by 1 day. My N-400 is based on marriage. I have taken 3 trips outside the US, since I got my green card -
1) 9 days trip in 2019.
2) 15 days trip in 2018.
3) 7 days trip in 2017.
For the #2, 15 days trip, I mentioned my return date as Dec 15, but actually on Dec 15 I boarded the flight and the flight arrived in the US the next day, that is Dec 16. I took this date from my flight itinerary and hence the mistake. So, this trip is actually a 15 days trip, but, in my N-400 form, it shows as a 14 days trip.
It is an honest mistake. During my interview, the officer did not ask me about dates. I passed the interview without any issues and was approved on the spot and my case status now says 'Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled'.
Do I need to do anything regarding this? Can this cause me any problems in the future?
A: Congrats. I doubt that should be an issue. You spent most of your time in the US and that is what is required for the time segment of the form. If you are asked about it at any time explain it as you did here.
