I-94 number wrong in I-797A

[srinivas1416]

Hi,

My COS(H4 to H1) applied and got approval but when i observe that my I-797A is having invalid I-94 no. Let's say her original I-94(H4 port of entry I-94) is 123456789. In the new approval what I see is 213456789.

The first and second digits swaped in approval doc(I-797A).

1). What is the process to correct it?. How many days USCIS will take to correct it?.

2). I got a job in one big company. Is there any issues if i apply for transfer with wrong I-94 number in I-797A?.

Please advice.

File an amendment. You lawyer should initiate this immediately. Bring it to their attention.

I am familiar with these wordings. My H1B was approved for 2 years ( petitioned for 3 years).

Attorney contacted them regarding anomaly. They sent in an amended approval notice

that approved the petition for 3 years. Case status update looked exactly same as what

you have pasted above.

ok. Thank you. Today my Attorney received copy with corrected I-94.
