I made a mistake on my I-821D submitted package.. I put country of residence: Mexico instead of USA

Asked in Los Angeles, CA - 10 months

The whole package and evidence submitted clearly shows I live in the USA... How do I correct my error?? Should I just wait for them to contact me??

Answered 10 months ago. This is an example why you should not have been filing this yourself. They will contact you. maybe they ask to correct and maybe they just deny your case since you told them you reside in mexico. Impossible to correct now since you have no case number.

Answered 10 months ago. First, don't panic. USCIS will likely send you a request for further evidence (RFE) to correct the mistake. They may also ask you for other evidence regarding your case. If this happens I recommend you contact an immigration attorney of your choice to schedule a consultation so all relevant facts can be analyzed and competent advice given.

Answered 10 months ago. Wait to see if you get a RFE. (There's a chance you may not get one) Then go through an immigration attorney.

Answered 10 months ago. I agree with my colleagues, should you receive a request for evidence (RFE), you should retain the services of a competent immigration attorney near you in preparing your answer. Often times, what appears to be a simple process, on its face, can turn into a more convoluted process...
This response in no way establishes attorney/client privilege or relationship.
