Clerical mistakes on immigration forms are more common than people think — wrong dates, misspelled names, incorrect entries, and other simple errors. What matters is how you handle them. If you discover a mistake, don’t ignore it. USCIS and immigration courts will eventually spot the inconsistency, and leaving it unaddressed can raise questions about your credibility.

Correct the error as soon as you notice it, whether that means submitting an updated form, providing a written correction, or explaining the mistake during your interview or hearing. Trying to downplay or hide inaccuracies only makes the situation worse. Being proactive shows honesty, responsibility, and attention to detail — all of which matter in immigration cases.

Summary

Correct mistakes on your immigration forms immediately to avoid credibility issues.
