  • Made a mistake on I-485, should I send additional information now?

    Hi all, thank you for your time here. I recently submitted I-485, I-765, and I-131 without medical back in July 2021, currently on AOS for EB2 sponsorship.
    When I sent my I-485 form, I indicated that I did not have any criminal records; that being said, I was browsing around months later and realized about minor traffic violation disclosure on a forum. I had 2 tickets, one in 2013 and one in 2018, both of which were civil citations. For the 2013 one, I paid a little over 500 dollars, so I should have checked "YES" on the question about citation.

    I thankfully have the original electronic ticket and the proof of payment + case closed. Should I officially send these right now to USCIS? Or just hold on to them and pre-emptively tell the officer when they ask about citation during the interview and hand them the receipt? Or should I not say anything at all since it's not a criminal charge? Will this affect anything at all? It's honestly because I was confused about the question and didn't even realize about the traffic ticket/amount I had 9 years ago. Thank you.

    From what I read you should not send documents to USCIS without an RFE. Most people wait until RFE or Interview date to disclose this.

    Another option is to chat with Emma, talk with a representative and ask about the criminal record and traffic violation. They should give you more information about the right way to handle this. Is easy to get confused, and ask as such, you saw information on a forum that for the 2013 ticket you should have answered yes but you didn't know at the time of sending the form.

    I have no experience about this, just commenting on what I have read and what I would do. Good luck.

      you do not need to worry about the mistake which I dont think it is a big deal.

      If you are scheduled for an interview, you have a change to fix the mistakes you made while the immigration officer is going over your application with you.
