Maybe make a copy of the original I-94 in your passport before you get this changed. This way you have a copy of it in case you have any problems or issues with it.

So here is what happened yesterday. I drove up to Bradley International Airport. When I found the deferred Inspection place, I spoke with a CBP officer who told me I wasn't in the system yet. How could I be because they have the wrong information. He then told me I needed to fill out an I-102 (to correct errors, for lost or stolen or mutilated documents). That it would cost me a fee of 350.00 because ultimately it was my fault for not catching their mistake and it is our responsibility make sure it is correct before we leave. so upon this news and feeling frustrated I burst in to tears. Sheeeesh, I felt like such a goof at this point. He then said to call USCIS when I got back home and ask to speak with a supervisor and explain my situation. I did call but she would NOT connect me to a supervisor. I told her she obviously didn't have the information I required and finally she gave me another number to call. I then explained to the fellow the situation and he told me to fill out my I-102 and put with it a cover letter explaining how it was not my fault. He was kind and apologetic for the officer who made this mistake. So all I can do is wait and see if it is resolved in time for me to apply for my SSN before my (wrong) I-94 expires..

What a dogs breakfast this is.

LESSON LEARNED: CHECK YOUR I-94 BEFORE leaving your point of entry.

thanks everyone for the info on how to start resolving this mess.

Not just your I-94.

ALWAYS check ALL the documents related any process, especially immigration ones:

  • Notifications
  • VISA
  • I-94
  • Forms
  • etc.

Excellent advice!!! :thumbs:

All it takes is to be the recipient of one error on this journey, self-induced or not, and this advice becomes one of the first things to do when dealing with immigration issues. :yes:
