What to Do if You Find an Error on Your N-400 Form
Hi Everyone, thanks for being here...I'm worried but not sure how much I should be..I always fear dealing with the Govt. but actually have never done anything wrong.
I am a U.S. Born Citizen Married to a Mexican immigrant since 2009, she got her green card in Aug 2009 we have one beautiful son together.
My wife has her interview for N-400 application on Monday in looking at the submitted app we noticed for the first time we made a really stupid error on accident we reviewed this thing so many times I cannot believe we missed it. On part 5 previous residence history we forgot an apartment we previously lived in. It was the one before our current (basically same address / building but we had to move to the apt 5 feet away across the hall due to remodeling. Can we fix the N-400 at the time of interview and apologize for the error or will this be a major issue and looked at as lying. Honestly I'm so mad at ourselves for this stupid error but it's done and we are freaking out a bit as to what is going to happen. We have the lease from the old apt. Most all other forums just say to take the corrected page to the interview with the address in there and explain before the oath that she needs to make a correction to the n-400. Is this the proper way to proceed, we have no reason to lie, is stupid a reason to be denied or deported? Thank you I'm really worried for her. My head is taking me places I don't want to go, like deportation.
Thank you for any advice you can provide.

Bring it up at the interview. It should not be a problem.

I really appreciate the reply! I know I need to remain calm and its not a huge error, Im just frustrated to all the work and checking we did on this, that we missed something so obvious, I think we were more concerned with document gathering, travel dates ect...that this just slipped by us, I think because the move was so quick and just next door it didn't register, not sure, if asked how could we have missed this the only answer we could provide is that we forgot...I hope the IO does not deem that as shady..
two last questions:
1. Will I be in the interview office, do spouses go in or do they wait outside typically?
2. We should bring this up with the corrected pages BEFORE the Oath?
Thanks again
