CBP I-94 Error H-1B – How to Resolve?

[Leonardo DiCaprio]

I'm facing a CBP I-94 error related to my H-1B visa and the information on the CBP website doesn't match my documents. This is quite stressful as it involves immigration records. Has anyone dealt with this and successfully got it corrected?

Yeah, I’ve been through this it’s stressful but fixable. I went to a CBP Deferred Inspection office with my passport, visa, and approval notice, and they corrected it pretty quickly.

To resolve a CBP I-94 error for an H-1B visa, contact a CBP Deferred Inspection Site. Most offices allow you to submit correction requests via email. You must provide your passport, H-1B visa, and I-797 Approval Notice to ensure your electronic record matches your legal status.

If your CBP I-94 has an error on H-1B (wrong dates, status, or name), don’t ignore it; it can affect your legal stay. For simple entry errors, the quickest fix is visiting a CBP Deferred Inspection Site with your passport, visa, I-797, and travel details; they usually correct it on the spot. If the mistake came from USCIS (like wrong validity on approval), you may need to file an I-102 or have your employer/attorney request a correction. I’ve seen people get it fixed the same day at CBP, so start there; it’s faster than filing forms.

If you find an error in your H-1B I94 Arrival/Departure Record, your first step should be to download it from the U. S. Customs and Border Protection website and carefully check it. Make sure to review your passport, visa stamp, and approval notice (I-797) for any discrepancies. Small errors are usually corrected simply by going to a CBP Deferred Inspection Site and showing the proper documents. If the mistake is related to status or validity dates, you should speak with your employer's immigration attorney. In case of differences on the petition, you will probably have to request a correction from U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Your quick response will be very helpful because errors may compromise your work authorization and stay legality.

A CBP I-94 error for H-1B usually means the admission record issued by U.S. Customs and Border Protection doesn’t match your approved H-1B visa details—such as wrong expiration date, visa class, or missing record. This often happens due to data entry mistakes at the port of entry or system issues. To fix it, first download your I-94 from the official site and check the details. If there’s an error, visit a CBP Deferred Inspection Site or contact them online with your passport, visa, and approval notice (I-797). Getting it corrected quickly is important to avoid problems with status, work authorization, or future travel.
