What if I made a mistake on my immigration application?

Ugh, that sinking feeling. What if I messed up my immigration application? I mean, really messed up? It’s so stressful, right? Like, you’re triple-checking everything, but then… what if you still missed something? I remember when my aunt was applying for her green card, she accidentally put the wrong year on one of the forms. Just one number off! She was freaking out, convinced they’d deny her application, send her back, who knows! It was a nightmare scenario playing out in her head.

So, what do you do if you made a mistake? Well, first, don’t panic (easier said than done, I know!). You’re not alone. Lots of people make mistakes. Seriously. You need to return that incorrect USCIS document. Yeah, the whole thing. Along with that, send a letter – a clear, concise letter – explaining what you messed up. And if you have proof of the correct info, definitely include that too! Like, if you put the wrong birthdate, send a copy of your birth certificate. Makes sense, right? My aunt? She did exactly that, sent a corrected form with a letter explaining the typo, attached a copy of her passport, and, you know what? It was fine. They accepted it. She got her green card. So, breathe. It might not be the end of the world. Just fix it, explain it, and hope for the best! Fingers crossed.
