How do I correct a mistake on my I-94?

Ugh, I-94 mistakes. Don’t you just hate them? It’s like this tiny little document holds the key to your whole life in the US, right? So, if it’s messed up, especially if you’ve got that ADIT stamp (you know, the temporary green card-ish thing), please, oh please, don’t try to fix it yourself! I’m speaking from experience – or, well, from listening to friends’ horror stories. One friend tried to… I don’t even know what he was trying to do. White-out? Something crazy. Just don’t.

Seriously, save yourself the headache and call USCIS. Their number is 800-375-5283. I know, I know. Waiting on hold can feel like an eternity. I’ve been there, staring at the ceiling, wondering what I’m doing with my life. But honestly? Getting a new, correct I-94? It’s such a HUGE relief. It’s like…imagine carrying around this heavy backpack full of worries, and then poof – gone! That’s what it feels like. Trust me. I’ve seen it. Friends practically skipping out of the USCIS office afterwards, like they just won the lottery or something. Okay, maybe not skipping, but definitely a noticeable difference in their stress levels! You’ll feel SO much better once it’s sorted. Just do it. Call them. You won’t regret it.
