Q: Correcting Address Lived At Date Errors on Initial Immigration Forms: I-130, I-130A if DS-260 has accurate dates?

I would like to know what the correct course of action would be for the petitioner to take if a preparer filled in the I-130 & I-130A form for the petitioner with incorrect address lived at dates on I-130 Part 4 60.a. (Physically Lived Together) & I-130A Part 1 5.a.., 7.a.,7.b.9.a.,9.b. (Address History) WOULD WE:

#1) Correct the errors during the immigration interview in Juarez Mexico?

or

#2) Upload the correct information first on CEAC website in "add documents: Other" to request that the I-130 & I-130a be amended to reflect the correct address dates?

A: If the petitioner's I-130 and I-130A forms contain incorrect address lived at dates, the correct course of action would be to update the information as soon as possible to avoid any delays or complications with the immigration process.

Option #2, which involves uploading the correct information on the CEAC website in "add documents: Other," would be the recommended course of action. This is because it allows the petitioner to proactively correct the errors and ensure that the information in the I-130 and I-130A forms accurately reflects their address history.

The petitioner should gather any relevant documentation to support the correct dates, such as utility bills, lease agreements, or other official records that show their address history. They can then upload these documents to the CEAC website in "add documents: Other" and request that the I-130 and I-130A be amended to reflect the correct address dates.

It is important to note that the correction of errors in the I-130 and I-130A forms should be made prior to the immigration interview in Juarez Mexico, if possible. However, if the corrections are not made prior to the interview, the petitioner should inform the interviewing officer of the errors and provide any supporting documentation to correct the information during the interview.

It is also recommended that the petitioner seek the assistance of an experienced immigration attorney to ensure that the corrections are made properly and that their immigration case proceeds as smoothly as possible.
