Errors in I-94 admission records by CBP officers continue to be an issue, necessitating assistance from immigration practitioners. With the 2022 shift to Simplified Arrival and stampless entry, correcting errors has become more complicated, as there is no physical record in passports. Foreign nationals now must access their admission records online, which can be difficult due to factors like multiple passport numbers.
Deferred Inspections: Corrections can be made at deferred inspection offices, which are designated for addressing CBP errors. Options for seeking corrections may vary by port, including in-person visits and electronic submissions, with confirmation of authorization required for attorneys.
Traveler Communication Center (TCC): The TCC has increasingly handled correction requests through its webform. It has been effective in managing errors from the Miami Field Office and may offer quicker resolutions than some deferred inspection offices. The TCC is also a resource for specific cases, such as correcting parole statuses for Afghan parolees and admission issues linked to Forms I-797.
