Mistake on Petition

[susabi 0]

I don't know how she got so careless and didn't even convert the date before giving it to me. We filed for fiancee visa for Nepal. We use our own calendar system and all the official documents use native dates. Therefore we have to translate it to English date before filling out any forms that require it. What happened was, she had a date on her mind since her school days which was given to her by a teacher and she had been using it ever since. So she didn't even bother to convert the actual date before giving it to me which was 3 days short from the actual date. NOw the petition has 10/10/85 which should have been 10/13/85. So Our petition now approved and is at the Kathmandu Embassy. She just told me that the date is actually wrong when she went to translate the birth certificates and other documents.

I read some thread earlier having same issues and figured you can talk to embassy directly and amend it. Some said they called National visa center and had them amend it. So what would be the best thing to do? I am planning to write a letter and fax it to the embassy. And also have my fiancee write a letter and fax it along with her birth certificate before picking up the packet. Please advise !!

Thanks

Just bring a corrected form to the interview and have her ask them if they need it or can they just correct the form on their own. It should be no big deal and I am sure if you had trouble converting dates that they have encountered this before since everyone would have to do the conversion.

Baron is right, people make all kinds of mistakes, just straighten it out at the interview.

SO, Should i fill out a new i-129f form or just fill out packet 3 with correct information? I don't think filling out a new i-129f form would help. I would rather just have my fiancee talk about the issue. I am also thinking about getting the packet 3 and writing a letter stating the issue and sending it back along with packet 3 which will be before the interview. I am just worried if she will be denied visa for not letting them know prior to the interview. Thanks for your reply guys. Would you shed some light again?

Wherever you made the mistake, fill out that form again and have it ready for the interview. Tell them of the mistake and ask if they correct it on your original form--if they can't provide them with the new form I am not familiar with your packet 3, but if you have a way to attempt to remedy it now, then make the attempt. Just make sure at the interview you confirm it has been corrected We had several mistakes and I emailed the embassy and was told to take care of it when she went for her interview. Kiev seems to be one of the better places to have an interview, we forgot a form for her daughter and they gave her the form and she filled it out right there.
