Is it ok to use correction fluid?!!

Hi everyone (yet again),

Ooops, I just made a mistake on our G-325A that we're enclosing with the I-129F packet. I intended to write "UNKNOWN" where it asks for A-Number/File Number, as advised in a previous post today. Instead, I accidentally put "NONE!" The harder I concentrate on doing things correctly, the more I mess up... :blink:

Is it ok to use correction fluid (White-Out) to correct this error? I would normally just re-print the form and start over, but we don't have a printer at home and it's quite an ordeal getting to the place where we print. This application is important to us, so obviously, we'll go re-print and start again if we need to...but would it hurt to cut a teensy corner by using correction fluid? I imagine what the USCIS cares about most is that the information is there and that it's legible.

Thoughts?

Thanks. :wacko:

metinspain,

Leave the 'none' answer alone. The anecdotal evidence is that it's a not critical question on a not critical form.

In general, when you make a mistake and want to correct it rather than start over, put a line through the incorrect answer and write in the correct answer above or below so that the original answer is still visible. If you obscure the original answer, the person reviewing the form may wonder what used to be there and may seek to satisfy their curiosity by issuing an RFE.

Correction fluid is definitely not acceptable on any of your Immigration forms.

You will need to fill out a whole new form.

I would leave the NONE there and alone.. That is what i did cos at this stage you really don't have an A number yet.

NONE is the right answer.

Leave it alone and don't white out anything.

Ok, so based on the replies here, we have:

- 2 votes for leaving it alone, and keeping "NONE"

- 2 votes for re-doing the form

- unanimous agreement that correction fluid is a no-no! (guess that answers THAT question!) :P

Combine this advice from another post suggesting we write "UNKNOWN" in the A-Number section, and I'm still confused...

I am inclined to go with the advice of those who suggest leaving it alone (saying "NONE"). Since the NOA-1 doesn't tell me what our A-Number is, then they can't expect me to know we've been assigned one, and can't possibly fault us for still thinking we don't have one! Right? Plus, if we leave it as is, that will save me another trip to print more forms. :thumbs:

If anyone else out there has input on this subject, we'll keep checking back!

Thanks, everyone.

I thought it was acceptable to write "None" or "N/A" for that question :crying: I ****ing triple checked everything 1984729347975479375497 times to make sure everything was correct, too. :(

You're probably fine based on what Yodrak and others are saying. Didn't mean to cause any worry! :)
