Needing on advice on fixing i-130 mistake after approval

[chel0524 82]

I have a question about fixing a mistake that we made on the I-130, which was approved last week. My husband has been married twice before, but we only disclosed his most recent marriage and divorce on the form. His first wife had passed away and we didn't realize that it was necessary to report.

However, after seeing the post today from the other couple who got sent back to uscis after their interview for not disclosing a previous marriage, we're concerned that we need to address this now.

I have already spoken to my husband and he has just ordered certified copies of marriage, divorce and death certificates. So, we'll have that documentation. This marriage happened back in the early 80's and he no longer had any of the information and she had since passed away.

If I write a letter of explanation and include this documentation, should I just send it to the NVC when I send in the IV package documents? I'm thinking that would be sufficient. I'm wondering if I should also complete an I-130 and biographic information form for the hubby and include it so that they have updated and corrected copies of it.

Any advice would be appreciated. We've had a failry smooth process so far and I want to make sure that we give them the information they need.

No berating me please....I'm already beating myself up for thinking we would only need to disclose the recent divorce.

who's the petitioner? If defiantly should be fixed now. How long ago did you file? I would contact USCIS and tell them you need to send updated I-130 and G325A forms.

**and just a note for anyone reading this. Yes all marriages and divorces have to be listed. Need more space add an additional sheet. I know of people who have had to list 3 to 5 marriages it must be done.**

dwheels76, thanks for your response.

We filed in April and it was approved last week. Is the case not kind of in flux at this point since it's headed to nvc? Should I not just send the info to nvc?

I am the petitioner, btw. US citizen. My hubby is from England.

There's nothing to send to NVC. When you fl out the DS-260 just be sure to have the corrected information. At NVC is where he has to have submit all divorce decrees and on DS-260 he will list all marriages. You must get it right this time and if the CO at interview were to ask just say you didn't know since wife died but the DS-260 has the corrected info.

There's nothing else you can do. No explanation just fill out the DS-260 correct and submit the documents required for beneficiary to NVC
