CBP officer mistake in alien number in passport

[~Alessa~ 26]

Hello everyone!

I just noticed (month after being in USA) that CBP officer in my passport made mistake. What he did, he wrote down my alien number in a wrong way, he did mistake in 2 numbers. I was just looking through my documents today (NOA2) and I've seen that mistake. Do you think this can cause problems?

The thing is that after he wrote this number in my passport, I went to the other room, where other officer filled out information in the computer or something, so now I don't know what to do if they made mistake in that. Would USCIS think that i didn't enter US at all?! cuz alien number was messed up?

When they used to give paper I-94 forms, sometimes the A# would be written on them, and written wrong at times. Human error happens. Use the number from your NOA2 I-129F approval notice on all your forms. You will be sending a copy of the NOA2 as well. The USCIS should know your A#. They sent it to you on the NOA2.

Your I-94 shows you entered the US on the correct date with your K-1, yes? I don't think the I-94 even has your A# on it. It has your I-94# and passport #.

Just checked my I-94 online. Yes, the date there is correct, and yes, they don't have alien number there, only passport number.

Ok, yes for sure I will send NOA2 copy, but they also want copy of passport with US visa in there, should I point out something about wrong A-number in AOS application?

No. Just be sure to enter the correct A# on all your forms.

No. Just be sure to enter the correct A# on all your forms.

Ok, thank you.

I also thought, maybe the A# in my NOA2 is wrong but the number in CBP officer computer was right? LOL.

You think I don't have to contact CBP in any way?

I am sorry, I am just obsessing over paperwork.

The one from the USCIS listed on the NOA2 would be the one to trust. I personally would not, but you can if it makes you feel more comfortable about it.
