Hi all, 

 

I am applying for a IR-1 visa overseas and my interview is on Monday morning. 

 

I was just going through all the paperwork (again) and I found a mistake in one of the forms. 😖😨 So now I'm all freaked out and don't know what to do-

 

For some reason, the AOS form I-864 states that the petitioner is serving in the army (it's actually a mistake, she never served in the military)

 

The form was filled and signed by my wife (petitioner) and lawyer. 

 

I'm not sure if we submitted this at NVC stage or if the emassy is the first place that we are submitting it.

 

What should we do??? Present it as it is and let them know about the mistake?? Fill a new form tomorrow? (allthough my lawyer wont be able to sign it)

 

Thanks in advance

Thanks. I guess I should omit the lawyers info and just have it signed by my wife then?

Yes. Your wife can complete a new form and you can bring it to the interview. I did that when I sponsored my Mom. Technically you only make the visa application when you appear in person at the Embassy that day. Plus people’s circumstances can change. In my case, I had a new baby in between the time I submitted the documents to NVC and the interview. That changed my household size.

Thanks guys. Another question. At the beginning of the form theres also some lawyer info "Select this box if form G-28 is attached" and "Attorney state bar number" Both were filled before but I guess I should not copy that info now. Right? That info will be in the AOS from the cosponsor anyway

Hi Talo. Don't freak it out! Everything will be ok. 

 

My lawyer made thousands of mistakes in my forms too. I ask her to make me a documents where she explains is her fault.

 

In my interview I waited to see if the CO would ask me about the mistakes before I present it the paper. He didn't!

 

My case was approved and I'm here in the US right now. 

 

Be calm and confident!!.

 

Good luck
