Date discrepancies in RFEs are not uncommon and often result from USCIS data entry errors or misreading of submitted documents. When responding, clearly identify the discrepancy and provide primary evidence correcting the record: certified marriage certificate, joint financial documents (tax returns, bank statements), lease/mortgage agreements, insurance policies listing both spouses, and photos spanning the marriage timeline. A cover letter explicitly noting the discrepancy and providing the correct date with supporting documentation is critical. Derivative beneficiary RFEs on marriage evidence typically have a 12-week response window. Cases with properly documented responses to marriage-evidence RFEs on EB-3 ROW AOS generally proceed to approval without further issues when the underlying marriage is genuine.
