CBP Provides Information on Correcting I-94s
The Customs and Border Protection bureau of the DHS has pointed to relevant
provisions of its field instructions regarding how to get I-94 errors corrected.
A list of the field offices at which corrections can be made is attached.
Excerpts from the Customs and Border Protection Inspector's Field Manual
state:
15.12 Correcting Erroneous Admissions.
a) General. Authority exists in 8 CFR 101.2 to create a record of a previous
admission where none exists or to correct an erroneous record, provided the
error was not a result of deliberate deception or fraud on the part of the
alien. Erroneous records include, but are not limited to:
- Misspelled name
- Incorrect or inverted date-of-birth (DOB)
- Visa classification reflecting the incorrect non-immigrant
classification as noted on the non-immigrant visa, as well as, the
classification the alien was admitted under.
- The B-2 visitors stay was limited without signed supervisory approval
- recording the visa expiration date instead of the petition expiration
date as the authorized period of stay.
Jurisdiction for correcting such errors made at the ports-of-entry lies with
Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Therefore, CBP locations are responsible
for the review and issuance of the appropriate documents to correct the error,
to include updating the Non-immigrant Information System
(NIIS) as outlined below. Since mail-in procedures are not available, aliens
will be allowed to report to the nearest CBP deferred inspection office or
port-of-entry, regardless of where the actual document was issued. In many
instances, the CBP location of the traveler's final destination where the
discrepancy will be resolved may not be the portof- entry of first arrival.
