Made a couple mistakes - should I withdraw/re-submit or correct via webform?

I made a couple small mistakes on my husbands Outland sponsorship application, and I’m looking for guidance on whether I should withdraw the application and re submit, or just provide corrections via webform.

Mistake #1: I put his status on one of his travels as the incorrect type of visa. However, I already included a copy of all his visas in his application which show the stamps/dates, so they’ll be able to see that he had the correct visa.

Mistake #2: My husband and I were introduced virtually, by his friend/roommate who was an online friend of mine. I later met both the friend and my husband in person at the same time when I travelled to their country (we explained on the Relationship Evaluation Form and in our letters of support that this friend introduced us, and we made general reference to when I met this friend online - ex “2 years ago” but didn’t state the month/year). However, on the Relationship Evaluation form, I only provided the date that I met this friend in-person, but didn’t include the date we originally met online. I want to amend this to note the date that I met this friend online prior to him introducing me and my husband.

Logically I would think these corrections should be acceptable because they support the rest of our timeline which we explained in the other parts of the application, but I’m paranoid about having a couple oversights turn into a problem. So, can anyone advise if it would be better for me to withdraw and re apply, or just send these corrections via webform? Thanks :)

Personally I don't think either of these are worth correcting. Unless the type of visa was very different (like permanent resident instead of tourist, perhaps).

Your other one: too complicated an explanation. Just leave it, explain if they ask.

Thank you so much! :)

For the visa mistake: Basically I said (in error) that both his trips out of country were on a tourist visa, however actually one was on a tourist visa and the other was on a work visa. I included copies of both his visas already when I submitted, so I think you’re right - despite my error, it will be clear based on the stamps on his visas that he was on a work visa for the 2nd trip.

My husband also thinks I’m probably overthinking the date that I met his friend online vs. in-person, so I appreciate your input on that also. My logical brain was telling me it probably isn’t a big deal, but anxiety was getting the best of me.

Again, thanks so much for taking the time to answer :)
