Some experts have advised me not to try to correct the Miami entry because it may have been a system error—perhaps due to a flight reservation I made and never paid for, and the airline might have sent my information to CBP, or my data might have been confused with someone else’s who has very similar personal details. I don’t believe it was fraud, because otherwise my visa would likely have been misused again, and I’ve had this visa for almost 10 years now. If it had been used fraudulently, I think it would have continued to cause issues or show more signs of misuse.
Besides, after 2018 I’ve traveled to the United States multiple times and have never had any problems. In fact, I transited through the U.S. recently, in March 2025, and had no issues at all—CBP simply allowed me to enter and complete my transit.
I suspect the phantom entry from Atlanta dated December 2024 was a mistake made by the officer when I entered Atlanta for my transit in March 2025. If the system had shown that I was still inside the U.S. from December, I assume the officer would have said something or stopped me, but she didn’t. She simply scanned my documents, said “welcome,” and allowed me to continue. That makes me think she accidentally generated a false entry for December 2024, along with the real one from March 2025.
At the moment, I am in Colombia. I found the contact email for the Atlanta Deferred Inspection Site and sent them an email with evidence showing that I was not in the United States in December 2024, as I was in the United Kingdom at that time. I’ve already sent the email and now I’m just waiting for a response.
