U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Deferred Inspection sites will correct errors recorded by CBP officers on arrival documents issued at the time of entry to the U.S., such as an improper nonimmigrant classification, inaccurate biographical information, or an incorrect period of admission. See https://www.cbp.gov/document/guidance/deferred-inspection-sites#)

Generally, corrections must be requested by the individual appearing in-person at a local Deferred Inspection office. However, if you entered the U.S. through certain designated ports of entry/Deferred Inspection sites, or are currently located within the area served by a designated site, it may be possible to bypass the in-person appearance and obtain corrected documents via email.

The following is a sample list of documents and information that may be requested:

 Details regarding your most recent entry: date of admission, class of admission, and port of entry;

 I-94 record showing most recent admission;

 Copy of the applicant’s passport biographical page;

 Copy of the applicant’s visa stamp AND admission/entry stamp for last admission into the U.S.;

 Form I-797 / Notice of Approval or Receipt from USCIS; and/or

 Form G-28 signed by the applicant/beneficiary.
