USA Entry Stamp in Passport Incorrect-- What to do?

[jaimedebruyn 25]

My fiance's visa was approved on June 25th, 2021, issued on June 28th, 2021, and he entered the USA on July 4th, 2021. We had an appointment to apply for his SSN today, and during the process the SSA noticed that the passport entry stamp that he received in Newark is dated JUNE 4th, 2021. This obviously caused there to be mismatched information in the system between SSA and Homeland Security. His I-94 has the correct entry date, but his passport stamp doesn't match. The SSA went ahead and processed the application, but they told us to expect a bit of a delay because of additional verifications that will be necessary. 

 

Has anyone heard of this happening before, or experienced this? We are trying to figure out if it will cause any problems in the future as we move to adjust his status after we get married, and other processes in the future.

Moved from K1 P&P to General Immigration related discussion as this more of a general question  

Seems like some people had a similar experience before. Here’s the thread, I hope it helps:

Something like this happened to me once. I was re-entering the US on my student visa. I think it was after my first visit back home after starting school here. I somehow did not notice it until I got home, but my passport was stamped "B2" (which is tourist visa/status)!!!! I freaked out because obviously, B2 and F1 student visa are totally different. Don't ask me how the agent got it wrong when I handed him my student visa papers AND he looked me up on their system. I told the international student advisor at school and he told me to go to the deferred inspection unit to get it changed. Luckily for me, there is one right in Los Angeles and they fixed it. The agent told me to always double-check my passport before leaving the customs area, which I have done diligently since then. Find your closest one here: https://www.cbp.gov/contact/ports/deferred-inspection-sites

 

The main thing is that I just don't know what their protocols are like right due to COVID. If the I-94 is correct, you may want to just call the deferred inspection site and ask if it is necessary for your fiance to come in to get it changed.
