US Citizenship Record Fixed

[MdAngie 0]

Hi All,

Maybe someone can help me out here. I became a US Citizen about a year ago and everytime i travel abroad and come back to the US and have to pass through the passport control i get stopped and get asked all these certain of questions that i dont know what they are talking about and even sent me to the room for nothing.

Where can i go to see or call to check what show up in my record. Its such a pain to pass through the passport control at the airport and get stopped.

please help me. I want to get it fixed or see how i can fix it. I have a feeling its all wrong information

You're not giving a lot of details (and perhaps you don't want to, and that's fine), but maybe there's nothing on your "record" and your name simply matches the name of someone they're looking for and they want to clear that up before letting you go?

It could be a million things... you could try asking CBP directly but I doubt they'll tell you anything useful.

uhm - you can get things cleared with USTRIP.

well i asked the officer at the passport control what was it and he said if i was deported when i was 7 yrs old and i said no. i was legal in US and had no history of deportation. This is the 2nd time i get stopped and asked and i want to know who can help clearing that record or finding out what really comes up.

there's a process with the USTRIP office. You _can_ get fixed there.

sorry, is USVisit system that has munged your data, not USTRIP, my bad.

However, the office was re-organzed in March of this year

Regardless, they hold yer data now, even it's wrong, but they can correct it.

I'll do some searching here for ya - someone recently had their record fixed.

but I can't for the life o me remember the exact search terms to find it.
