QUESTION
Are unintentional mistakes on ETA 9089 relevant to the scope of N-400 question 31?
Asked on Oct 09th, 2021 on Immigration - Washington
More details to this question:
N-400 question 31 asks "Have you EVER given any U.S. Government officials any information or documentation that was false, fraudulent, or misleading? Wouldn't any typo or a mistake in any submitted form or application automatically imply yes to this question? Suppose an ETA 9089 had a typo in employment dates but that this was corrected by submitting EVLs with the corrected dates at the I-140 stage which was approved. If so, would I still bring this up?

Any question pertaining to fraud or misrepresentation on an immigration application requires that the applicant made the fraud or misrepresentation intentionally.
