Infopass apt for DOB change (merged thread)

[JCV 5]

My husband somehow wrote the wrong DOB on his i130, he wrote the 28th instead of the 29th, or the lawyer wrote it. Anyway we called 4 months ago and they said they will change it. called today as we noticed people before us getting approvals and we couldn't access our case because... the DOB is wrong. They told us on the phone that they would change it. Anyway this new officer told my husband he needs to attend an INFOPASS apt just to change his DOB????

my question, is the going to delay the i130 approval at all? does he really need to go the the embassy in person???

I am seriously fed up with this whole journey, and not sure i even want to live in USA anymore - it feels like it is never going to end.

the guy on the phone said we should have received an info's apt in the mail and we didn't, do they all just say what they want?? seriously... visa journey is more reliable than the USCIS

An Infopass appointment isn't at the embassy, it's at a local USCIS office. He just has to go online, book an appointment at the nearest one and go.

The apt isn't for another month will it delay ?

[JCV 5]

Hi everyone, I know posted this yesterday but i did not get an answer.

We are nearly 6 months into the process and the petitioners DOB is wrong in the NOA1, we noticed immediately and called USCIS 6 months ago who said they will change it. Called yesterday and found out it is still incorrect. is this going to delay our Application?

We need to know as we thought we were nearly half way through and now considering different options if it means it has delayed.

We have a infopass apt in 2 weeks. earliest one available :l

thank you!!

You can bump your thread every so often but you cannot start new threads on the same subject, it's considered spamming.

As for if this will delay or not, it's unknown as I haven't seen this issue before (people don't randomly forget their own birthdays in general.) Essentially, if people don't answer, they don't know. The USCIS stage is opaque in nature.

You don't need to assume he 'forgot his birthday' our lawyer filed the application, despite having his passport and birth certificate she filed 29 september instead of 28..

We have been in serious stress this past week and since others are getting approved we believe we have to start all over again and are ending the visa.

if anyone has ANY experience i would appreciate a response.

We have both been in tears all week, he just got a huge job and new lease and now has to end it all.. we cannot start this all over when we were supposed to be half way through and the lawyer messed it all up for us

I don;t know what to do anymore

I didn't say HE forgot his birthday, I'm saying on this site, which is largely do it yourself, IE: without lawyers, you do not see this issue, which is why someone has been unable to help you.

I never assumed your husband forgot his own birthday, but on this site, as it's DIY, and most people do their own paperwork, it would be indeed rare to see a case like yours denied completely where you think the only issue is a wrongly written birth date (which I doubt is actually an issue, especially since the I-130 would state it was done by a lawyer and not the petitioner.) The government is a bit smarter than that.

Starting over again is silly, in my opinion, as you haven't yet exhausted every avenue available to you to and 6 months is the average for an I-130, not the end. Learn to relax. Like I said the USCIS is opaque and you will never know exactly what is going on there. No one does.

Have you tried a service request? Have you tried contacting a congressman or senator? Have you tried the ombudsman? Have you contacted you lawyer about the issue?

Not to mention you're at 4 months processing. 5 months would be 6/27.
