Hi,
I entered US on 19th January and at the POE in NJ, I handed over the filled up I94 form.
My BAD: I had not entered the family name (which i did not know maps to surname in passport).
I was browsing through the forums and there are too many confusing things for me.
When I applied for SSN the officers queried the online SAVe system and told me that the last name is my given name.
This apparently is due to the fact that, I had not given the family name in I94.
How do I get the I94 and apparently the SAVE data corrected?
I do see there are 2 things here:
1. form I102 and waiting indefinitely for the records to be straightened out.
2. go to the nearest CBP deferred insepection site and get it corrected.
I currently live in Salt Lake city and when I called the Customs Border protection deferred inspection sites, they say they cannot do the correction here.
I am in real cross roads, Can someone throw some light on this? any similar experiences??
