Beware of the automatic error caused by the electronic system on form I-130. (IR1/CR1)

Same thing happened to me. Filed in October 2021 and noticed the same error. Reached out to USCIS through Emma, and they asked to submit a service request online similar to the advice in this thread. USCIS said expect a reply within 3 weeks.

Not only petitioner"s previous marriage end date, but also beneficiary"s previous marriage end date was populated under current marriage end dates in both Information about Petitioner (part 2, line 21 spouse 1) and Beneficiary (part 4, line 22 spouse 1) parts of I-130. Hopefully, USCIS will correct the entries as instructed and have no impact on approval timelines.

Congratulations, great news! I’m still waiting on mine. Do you mind telling me when did you submit the request? I did mine on Nov 2 and expected date was by November 24.

They emailed me today too, but it stated that they put down a note on my case about this error and only officer will be able to correct while adjudicating the case.. :( Maybe I'll try to contact them by phone and ask to connect me to an tier 2 officer and explain the error. Let's see if its works this way for me...

They emailed me also, telling me the adjudicating officer will correct it at the time of adjudication and I need not do anything. So you r good! They will correct it when they r ready to process your case.

I filed two I-130s for spouse and step son. This error appeared in both I-130s, and I requested updates for both separately. For Spouse I-130, the response was, "The typographical error has been corrected on your application or petition". For step son I-130, the response was, "Your service request has been forwarded to your file. The officer reviewing will make any appropriate changes to your file". So, I think both scenarios are good and this will have no adverse impact.

OMG I lost sleep over this issue the other day. Both myself and my husband has been married once and we got different end dates our our current marriage. I scrambled what to do. I admit I turned it I-130 online quickly and just used my phone (I normally spend days on this prior sending) and hopefully I filled via paper and had really stressful weeks prior to application, I thought I am getting too old and losing my brain. I noticed other errors too but those two were major ones coz it showed that we were divorced with each other 12 yrs or so before we got married.
