I-94

[kontumdiary 0]

Our friend's SO enter the US with Marriage Visa. But the agent at the entry port stamped the expiration date of the visa only 30 days out, not 90. How do we correct this issue?

Thank you!

We had to visit one in the Seattle area to correct the error on my stepson's I-94.

Good luck on with your friends CBP issue.

Sometimes this happens because the medical expiration date. Have your friend check the date of the medical exam sometimes is good for only 6 months, if your friend took a little longer to come to the US, that could explain the 30 day visa. if that is not the case, try and call CBP.

What do you mean by "Marriage Visa"? What visa did they come into the country with? K1? CR1?

If they arrived on a K-1 then the I-94 is what is stamped and it should expire within 90 days as that is how long they have to get married. If they arrived on a CR-1/IR-1 there is no I-94 and they should have been given an I-551 temporary green card (GC) stamp that is valid until the actual GC arrives. What this SO is says makes no sense. How did they enter the US as there is no "marriage visa"? The K-1 visa is a non-immigrant visa, hence the I-94, for the purposes of getting married and then immigrating to the US and the IR-1/CR-1 is an immigrant visa, hence no I-94.

Thanks very much for this information. It may be the answer. I'll keep everyone posted.

Ya, it is that straightforward -

get into a deferred / secondary inspection office of the CBP,

ask for the shift supervisor,

and get it sorted, culminating in a NEW I-94.

no queues, no lines, no waiting..

don't use a phone..

just go !

We located a deferred inspection site and found the office but only managed to talk to them on the phone, since it appears the office has moved. My friends SO entered the US with a K-1 on NOV 5 2012. The I-94 shows the expiration date as FEB 2 2012.

FEB 2nd is the correct expiration date but it should be 2013 instead of 2012, wouldn't you think?

It's now DEC 19th but they could not find her in their computer according to the I-94 number. They asked us to call back on Friday this week. And a closer look at the I-94 also reveals the inspector at the entry port misspelled her first name.

They never realized the date mistake until they applied for a SS#. They were told by that office that her visa had expired.

Is there a possibility her misspelled first name could be a problem?

She is the one that completed the I-94 so she would have spelt her name wrong. Yes an incorrect name will cause issues down the line because there will be no link to her.

Darnell, we did go in person. When we got there the door was locked and it appeared the office had moved but they had the same phone number so that's why I called.

Thanks.

[Darnell 8,478]

hmmmmm - I truly meant - go in person to ANOTHER office.
