I’m not citizen and in my marriage license they give me a declination form to register to vote, I had a mistake and I check two boxes the first one was I decline to register and the second I decline to register because I’m currently registered where I live, I wrote by hand I decline vote and registration. Could this affect me in my marriage green card application with the immigration officer?

Subject: Explanation of Mistake on Marriage License Form
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to explain a mistake that I made on my marriage license form regarding voter registration.
In the section where I was asked to register to vote, I mistakenly checked two boxes:
*. I decline to register to vote.
*. I decline to register because I am currently registered where I live.
Additionally, I wrote by hand that I decline to vote and register.
I want to clarify that I am not a U.S. citizen and therefore, not eligible to vote. My intention was to decline voter registration entirely. This mistake was unintentional, and I hope this letter provides clarity.
Please find attached my marriage license form and any relevant documents that may support my explanation.
I appreciate your understanding and consideration of my situation. If there are any further questions or clarifications needed, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
