797 and 539 Kept by CBP officer

[rommy]

Hi All,

Recently I crossed the border and got the new I 94 for me and my wife however while crossing the border , we faced 1 situation where officer kept our original 797B and 539 documents. I asked to return and he said I do not need them as VISA in our passports are good enough to travel or any other purpose in US. 

Now I am wondering , what to do next ? In a past they always returned my original approval notices.  

Thanks

really ?? thats weird .. You always should take your original 797 copy back .. may be call CBP at the airport and double check again

yes, thats what I felt, also the arrival stamp was 10 days ahead , instead of 11/05  it was 11/15, on paper I 94  which he corrected with X5 but passport page stamp he did nt , Should I bring and discuss with local CBP office?

They can't just take that. Get your lawyer involved.
