CAN'T REMEMBER WORK DATES

[Auscat 0]

After entering the US in 2012 on a K1 visa,I'm currently in the process of filling in my i-485 and am having trouble remembering start/finish dates of my last job in my home country as its been some time. I kept copies of my K1visa application which is possibly the only place those dates are written down.

We have moved three times since we got here and I'm at a total loss as to where those copies are (have asked several friends and family members if they recall also, but to no avail), so the crux of the question is if I guesstimate the dates and they don't match my original K1 application will this present a problem? I simply entered the year I started and the year I probably finished with a 01/01 in front.

  I'm aware this sounds quite ditzy, but there were three deaths in our family within a 3 year period and frankly that whole time is a complete blur as it was just so hugely stressful. I'm worried about a possible rfe, or being called out in my interview for dishonesty. Is this something to worry about and/or has anyone else experienced the same?

Is it possible to get verification of employment dates by contacting the companies you worked for over the phone?

When filling my forms for AOS I could not remember the dates of my formal employment or the exact day that I moved in or out of places, most of the forms have a place for you to put "additional information" so I put a date that would be approximate and in the additional information part I stated that those where accurate regarding month and year, but that I wasn't sure of the exact day that they started/ended. So far no RFE or RFIE, many that filled even after me have got those.

My problem in this case is that the companies that I worked for that where in the timeframe, 2 of them do not exist anymore 😰

Thanks for suggestions guys! Not long after posting I too realized my group certificates would have the same info, so just started ploughing through unpacked boxes. Failing that I guess its possible to email the  organization and do it that way. Thank you to all who responded, it has been really helpful.
