My fiancee's POE was 9/13, and her entry was not reflected in I-94 for 3 days.

Not seeing her I-94 update for 3 days, I looked for a CBP office to visit.

There were many around my area, and I called few of them,

but was told only the CBP office that handles "Deferred Inspection" can do this.

https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/1697/kw/i-94%20update

Here is the list of deferred inspection sites.

http://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/documents/deferred_inspection_sites_052914.xls

So we went there yesterday and waited 1 hour for them to update the I-94.

The staff told us, it should show up on the web site within 30 minutes.

But my fiancee had the right instinct to stick around for 1 hour to ensure that

it's updated, and sure enough after 1 hour, no updates showed up the I-94 site.

So we went back, and they updated for the second time in the back room

and we confirmed that it showed up on the web site right away this time before we left.

Lesson learned...

1) At POE, kindly ask them if they updated I-94

2) If you end up going to a CBP office, make sure they give you a print out

or check that it's updated on I-94 site before you leave

This is not big deal to get this update if they miss it during POE,

but it did cost us 5 hours for the wait and round trip time.

I am facing the same issue as DualityOneness above. I made 4 trips between USA and my home country and only first two of them show, and not the last two. What complicates my situation is the fact that I have already left USA and now residing in my home country now. I would appreciate of someone can provide me with any helpful information.

Darnell, can you direct me with the link for your advice regarding CBP offices for I-94 issues?

Come join the Scan Date to Case Complete thread. To be added to the Scan Date to Case Complete spreadsheet, simply post your Scan Date and/or Case Complete date in the thread. You will be added to the spreadsheet which is available now.
