Port of entry stamped only for one month but electronic I-94 valid for 6 months

[vkatneni]

Hi,

My mom came to US today, this is her first visit, when the officer interviewed her, he asked how long will you stay?, she replied 6 months, Officer asked why, she replied to see places and spend time with family, He said why do you need 6 months to visit places and written "Feb 20 , 2020” (Less than one month) In her passport stamp. However, when I checked her electronic I-94, it says "admit until date: July 21, 2020".

Following are my questions.

1. Is date on stamp valid or I-94 date valid?
2. If date on stamp valid what are our options to extend her stay?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

You'll get benefit of doubt & can have her stay full 6 months.

Online is what they too must be checking & they have no copy of your passport.
