Settlement Visa error on online application
Hello,
Sorry for the abrupt post, I am hoping to get some guidance.
Recently my (US) husband and I (UK) have submitted the online form for his Settlement Visa in the UK. Yes paid and for IHS paid.
I have just noticed that there is an error on the form, for the issuing authority of both passports.
I do not know how I overlooked this before submitting.
Now I am stuck. I do not know if I should cancel the visa application and submit a new one.
I have seen that some other people with errors have said that they printed out the completed application with the errors.
They said they put a line through the error and then hand write the correct details with initials by it. Along with this they write a cover letter explaining the error and that they have corrected it on the hard copy.
As it is the weekend I cannot contact the helpline and the same goes for their e-mail.
I am really hoping for anyone's input on this
Thank you.
Sorry I posted this in the wrong area at first

Hello,
Thank you for your response.
I mistook the Issuing Authority to be the Issuing Country.
I have made a cover letter detailing the error.
In the letter I have advised that I have amended the error on the printed copy. (line through incorrect data and hand written correction as shown on the passport.)

In that case it’s really not going to be an issue.

Thank you for your time. Sorry.
I was very distraught when I noticed this mistake and frustrated when I was unable to contact anyone for guidance.

Not to worry, it’s by far the least important piece of information on your passport.
