Hi guys, anyone got an I-94 error recently on the new automated electronic I-94 system by CBP?

My son and I did not have a hardcopy I-94 form when we entered via LAX last June. When I applied for SSN 3 weeks ago I retrieved my arrival info including I-94 number from CBP website by inputting my full name (two given names, middle name, and surname), passport number, arrival date and PoE, etc. It retrieves my admission record and I was able to print the I-94 retrieval document with all my correct info. The lady at SSA, however, advised me that when they checked my admission records they were not seeing my second given name on the system, just my first given name. No big deal, they still issued my SS card.

Now I am just about to send my AoS packet and had used all my copies of that I-94 retrieval document. I wanted to make more copies but instead of photocopying, I went back to the CBP website to have the prints and to my surprise it now won't retrieve my admission record under my fullname (just my first given name instead of two given names) !!! Apparently this is a CBP error.

My questions are:

1. I plan to go ahead and submit copies of my I-94 that reflected my fullname correctly, and just have CBP fix it later. Do you think this is alright?

2. Any advise from people who have gone through the procedure of requesting correction from CBP Deferred Inspection?

Sigh. Hate the hassles they cause.

CBP doesn't put anything in manually. It is captured from your passport. Sounds like the system will only allow for one first name. I think if it's got your first and last name and the correct passport number, it will be fine for AOS. Copy the passport stamp to also show you entered with inspection. The paper forms used to not even have anything but first and last name and that worked just fine for AOS. I would use it and forget about fixing it. You got through Social Security which is usually the pickiest on names.

Very good points. Follow what Nich-Nick said instead. Just fill out your AOS forms with your correct full name.

Will my fiancée received a stapled I-94 at her POE (CDJ) or will it be issued electronically just as it is being issued at airports?

Does anyone know?

Border crossings are still the stapled manual I-94 is what the information said when they were announcing the automated version for air arrivals.
