WRONG DATE STAMP IN PASSPORT

[ddurkin 0]

HI- so we were filling out my husband's AOS paperwork today and found a potentially major problem. the fine folks at JFK stamped his passport and I-94 as February 6, 2006. He actually entered on February 7, 2006!

Of course, his passport was also scanned at JFK into the computer, and we are betting that he wll actually be in the computer system as arriving on Feb. 7.

What should we do? Is there someone at USCIS we can call and ask what to do? We are really worried that the contradiction in dates will slow our AOS process down, if not create serious glitches.

What date should we use on all the forms he has to fill out? The stamp date or the real date??

Suggestions? Has this happened to anyone else, and what did you do?

Again, any phone number to call would be great too.

Thanks

I'd use the date on your I-94, but I don't think it matters.

Relax, everything will be ok.

The same thing happened to my son and I. We entered on May 24, but our visa's were dated May 25. I used the May 25 date on our forms.

Same happened to me. I was due to arrive one day but the flight was delayed and it was actually well after midnight when we landed but the POE people never changed their date stamp. I got my greencard without any probs so it probably doesnt matter at all.

Same with my daughter and I. I-94 was dated the 24th and we entered on the 25th. I just used the date on the I-94.

Seems to happen a bit if you're on one of the earlier flights in the day. My wife put the actual day of arrival on her form (not the one on the I-94) and we included a note with the application stating that the stamp was wrong and attached a copy of her boarding pass. We didn't have any problem.

If you want to get the I-94 corrected, you can go to any international airport and look for the CBP Deferred Inspections Office. They can correct the I-94 for you.
