Mistake in I 129 passport Number(petition approved by CIS)

[Spri]

Heart full Thanks to txh1b and other senior members.May god bless you all and your family.

As txh1b predicted my L1B to L1A conversion has been approved.Thank god and everyone here for valuable suggestions.

NOW, when I was going thru the Copy of I129 application submitted by my employer, I found the passport Number in CIS submitted I129 is having mistake.

This is what I found.
From 2008 onwards, all US counselor posts are using PIMS (Petition Information Management Service) - the Electronic verification to verify the underlying petition and I129 that has been approved by USCIS.No visas may be issued without verification through the PIMS system.Even if a beneficiary takes an original I-797 approval notice (copy, incase of dependents) to the interview, previously sufficient basis for visa issuance, s/he now will have to wait until the information is confirmed through PIMS.

My Concerns/questions:

My Employer attorney's are Very hard to reach - when I found this mistake and informed them, They simply said “we will NOT fix this because case has already been approved. " - does that mean we are NOT able to fix it or they(employer) just don’t want to fix it?


1)How can I to make sure that neither my dependents (spouse/kid) nor I will not be facing ANY issues during visa interview with Consulate officer - because of the Passport number mismatch in I 129 . What If the Visa Officer finds the mismatch in I129 and the D156 and PIMS?

2)even if i managed to get Visa, will i end-up with Questions and explanation every time at the Port of entry.(will be frequently traveling at least once in a year)

3) will this cause any issues while I start my GC process based on this approval Notice.

4) Is it OK to have the incorrect information which may not reflect visually anywhere in the approval Notice?

5)Can we get in touch with USCIS to understand what can be done/what can not and about the consequences in Port of entry, consulate visa interview and GC process. -I believe we should inform USCIS about this error and get it acknowledged, to be in good faith of USCIS
(If yes....who should do this me or my employer)

Thanks in advance,

If it is a typo with a one digit mismatch, it may not be a big issue. However, they are unwilling to correct it because it was their fault in the first place. Passport is used as an ID document and is not something to worry about PIMS.

They can file for an amendment/correction, however, they probably don't want to take a chance now that you already have the approval.
Glad it worked out for you!

Yes..Its a One letter mismatch..first letter is "2" in I 129(it should be "Z")

1)Is there a possibility/Chance for petetion goes pending again if they file for a correction?
2)Can I Call customer service number or PP hotline and ask for the correction?(since USCIS already have a full passport copy)

Glad it worked out for you!

to be frank, i have got minimal confidence after your words..Thanks

I would not worry too much about the "Z" as it is obvious. I do not anticipate any problems from that at any time.

You cannot request any corrections as it is employer's petition.

This is a relief. Thank you very much for your kindness, you and other Senior Members were very helpful. Immihelp readers owe you a lot. - I mean it.
I will update this thread if my escalation works and employer agree to go for a correction.
