USCIS classified my 8-year-old stepdaughter as “ADULT CHILD OF USC” on I-130 receipt — has anyone seen this?
I'm a U.S. citizen and filed separate I-130 petitions for my wife and my minor stepdaughter.
My stepdaughter was born in January 2017 and was 8 years old when her I-130 was accepted by USCIS in April 2025.
I recently noticed something strange on her I-797C Receipt Notice. Her date of birth is listed correctly as 01/05/2017, but under “Preference Classification” it says “ADULT CHILD OF USC.”
I'm trying to figure out whether anyone else has experienced something similar:
Have you had the wrong preference classification printed on an I-130 receipt?
Was it only an error on the I-797C, or was the case actually classified incorrectly in USCIS's system?
If USCIS corrected it, did your original I-130 continue processing under the same receipt/filing date?
How long did USCIS take to respond to the typographical-error request?
The thing that reassures me somewhat is that USCIS has her correct 2017 DOB on the same notice, so the notice itself clearly shows that she was a minor when the petition was filed.
I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has dealt with a similar I-130 classification error.
