If I made a mistake and entered wrong dates on the form, can I correct it?

Yes. Date errors or other mistakes on the form can be corrected, even in an EB-2 NIW petition. The right path depends on what stage the process is at, so the first step is to determine whether the form has already been filed or not.

If you have not yet filed, simply do a final review and fix whatever is incorrect before submission. If the error only came to light after filing, the key is to act as soon as possible rather than letting the inconsistency go unaddressed.

• Contact USCIS through official channels and explain the mistake.
• When appropriate, submit a cover letter clarifying the correction with the accurate information.
• Attach supporting documents that verify the correct information.

Keeping your information accurate and truthful is essential, because inconsistencies can complicate the review. If you remain uncertain or your case is at a more advanced stage, seek guidance from an immigration professional and confirm the procedure through official sources.
