I made 4 corrections on the FAFSA for financial aid. Is that too many corrections?

For my 2010-2011 FAFSA, I made 4 corrections. In the summer of 2010 I submitted my first FAFSA and I put that I would be enrolled half time at a community college and my EFC was around 6800 with my income at $31,000. My second and third FAFSA correction was in November and I changed my income to $30,000 and changed my school to a University that I just found out I got accepted to and my EFC was 6373. I just handed in all my required documents in late Dec to the school and she said I should hear back from them in a few weeks. A few days after in the end of Dec I realized that I should decrease my income on the FAFSA with another correction because I did not originally minus all the days that I was not paid for my one month lay-off, my unpaid mandatory winter and summer holidays, my unpaid sick days etc. I lowered my income to $24,000 and my EFC is 3752. Will this cause problems in my FAFSA process? Will I need to submit more documents because of this or can they just figure this out by looking at my SSN? Will there be a delay in the processing and, if so, how much of a delay? How much financial aid will I be eligible? I'm married with no kids and my husband had no income.
