Incorrect Visa Number in I-485

[jenimmi]

Since I didn't get an answer in the other thread, I'm posting it here :

In the section where it asks for Non-Immigrant visa number in I-485, I put the Control # found in the Visa page, when I applied for my Parent. Now I see some posts indicating, the visa # is the one in Red on the visa page. I only had a Black and white photocopy of the Visa page at that time and didn't even know there was a number in Red (my Parent had gone to visit some one else within U.S. then and had taken the PP with them).

I had attached the photocopy of the Visa page with I-485, when applying. I'm just hoping that some one in the processing center will look at the photocopy for the correct Visa # instead of sending us a denial. But if they don't --

Will my Parent's application be denied for this error? Would we be asked to reapply I-485 ? Can some one please tell us what this mistake would cause us?
1) Denial of I-485 ?
2) Further delays ?
3)) RFE ?

I also put control number for my parent. I have NOT seen an RFE for that so far. FYI - I got a RFE for non availability of birth certificate from the municiplaity.

I made the same mistake, and it hasn't affected me at all.

If I remember it correct, I think they ask for the visa details if the visa is less than 1yr old.

Even I did the same thing unknowingly. Though my parents had 10yrs visa for about 6yrs, I still entered the details just to be on safe side. Well, provided the wrong info .

As others are saying, I don't think they'll take any serious offense to it. Lets hope not.

My parents got their FP Notices.

Guess what guys? I was told by the CSR at Dallas DO to put the Control Number as Visa Number I found out later that she was grossly wrong.

Oh well...the officer did not point out anything during the interview so I guess we all are fine.

Thanks a lot guys. I just hope like most of you, my Parent will not have a problem with the 485. At times like this when I'm in a panicky state, I cannot believe how valuable this forum is! Kudos to Rajiv Khanna for hosting this site!

NeedurHelp - I don't remember seeing anything which asks to enter Visa #, only if Visa was issued within the past year. I think in I-485, you have to put a valid visa #, regardless of when it was issued, as long as it's still within the expiration date. Can some one comment?

A question:
I just received the NOA for I-130, 485 and 131 (pls see signature). While the "Received Date" and "Notice Date" have been filled, I see that the "Priority Date" field is left blank in all of these Notices. Is this common?
In that case, how is it that SimiDude has a PD and NeedurHelp does not?

Hi needurhelp,

It looks like your parents got the FP done ahead of the scheduled date. How does the Walk-in FP work? Do you have to call the DO ahead of time? Any info. you can provide is greatly appreciated!

[needurhelp]

We just did plain-ole walk-in on last Friday Morning. Guess what, today my mom got another letter for redoing her FP again for Code 1 as her previous ones were unacceptable. They rescheduled it for March 15. I'm hoping to do the walk-in this Friday and see how it goes.

I am not sure if this post is still active, but I am getting ready to file for my parents and I have couple of questions if you all can help.

Background : My parents are with us on visitor visa til Feb. I would like to file their GC through AOS.

Qestions :

1) Do they have to leave us even if their 485 is not approved ?
2) Is the process mentioned above like 130, 485 is still valid ?
3) Can we file all 130, 485 everything at the sametime ?
