USCIS lists wrong visa type in system after US entry

I don't understand why people are running off to immigration, when the SSA office has other steps that can be taken to verify your status if the initial verification show your status as being a mismatch.

Because SSA refuses to do anything until you run to immigration and get the status corrected. According to them, they're unable to do anything if there are conflicting status' - plus another request would show the same incorrect status because it's what CBP entered. Even USCIS claimed they couldn't do anything until CBP fixed it.

Well that was BS. Verifying your immigration status is a three step process. The SSA office does an initial request while you are in the office. If that does not verify they do a secondary electronic verification request. If the response from the secondary electronic verification request is to send copies of documents, they send a copy of the front and back of in your case the I-94 along with Form G-845.

Perhaps it was BS. I said in my OP when it happened to me that the woman didn't seem to know what she was supposed to do, and neither did the woman next to her.

But fixing it at the source of the problem was the best method anyway, as when I spoke to USCIS, they told me that I was entered on a tourist visa on their system and they couldn't do anything either, it needed to be corrected where the mistake was initially made.

I dread to think about the problems we would've had if we attempted to apply for AOS when there were three different visas going on under my name.

If you've ever had 3 visa types going on, that could explain why USCIS now has it wrong. They don't do well with anything slightly complex, LOL.

Well this kind of thing happens all the time and immigration is some how able to verify the person's immigration status so that the SSN can be assigned, so there must be other ways for them to determine your correct immigration status and they might even make the correction when it's discovered through the SSN verification process.

When you submit the AOS you send them a copy of your I-94 and visa, so I'm pretty sure it wouldn't take a lot of detective work to figure out the person came here as a K-1.

Agreed!!!
