Need to Correct an I-94 Error?
It is important to review your I-94 arrival record and travel history on the CBP website after every international trip. If you spot an error, make sure to contact your immigration attorney and follow these steps to correct it:
Review Your I-94
Visit the CBP website to check your I-94 for errors, such as misspelled names, incorrect admission or expiration dates, and the wrong visa classification.
Identify the Error
Determine the type of error that needs correction.
Gather Necessary Documents
Collect all relevant documents, including your I-94 entry/travel record, your passport biographic page, visa stamp, USCIS approval notices, and any other evidence showing the correct information.
Contact CBP Deferred Inspection Sites or Ports of Entry
Deferred inspection offices and some ports of entry can correct CBP errors. You can find contact information and office locations on the CBP website.
Request the Correction by Email
Most correction requests can be submitted by emailing the Deferred Inspection Sites or Ports of Entry. Email addresses are available on the CBP website.
Use the Traveler Communication Center (TCC)
The TCC can handle some corrections via CBP’s “Ask a Question” webform. Select “I-94/Traveler Compliance” as the topic, and “Issue with my I-94/Traveler History” as the issue. You can upload your documents directly through the webform.
Important Tips:
Double-check all documents for accuracy and consistency before submission.
Keep copies of all correspondence and submitted documents.
Call an immigration attorney before visiting a CBP Deferred Inspection office.
