I have a long list to obsess about. I guess it's never straightforward. Number one, the "certified copies" of passport. In the US you don't just walk into a solicitor's office and ask for this service. They'd look at you like you were mad. I settled for a notarized sworn statement, along with the color copies.
Another good one is the dates on our medicals. We have no panels here, so we went to our respective doctors and pediatrician, each of whom in turn relied on staff for some of the paperwork. In the end the medicals must bear the signatures of some dozen or more nurses and doctors. Some of them did NOT pay close attention to the date format and they wrote month - day - year. Ack! Some of them did do it correctly, even within the same set of papers.
Rather than try and hunt down these people after the fact and get them to redo, I just drew arrows on the paperwork and noted "Month/Day Backwards." If you look at the dates that ARE correctly entered it all makes sense, but it will require a CO who is mildly tolerant of human error.
To make it better, I actually wrote this beside one set of dates that I then realized was done correctly. So I crossed out my own note and wrote OKAY! I hope my CO has a sense of humor.
Then there are the coffee stains all over our "original" marriage license. I'm sure there is a story there but I don't remember it. At least it should ring authentic - who else would send in such a beastly mess?
Remaining hopeful it will all work out.
