Typo on I-194

Rupert posted 6 years ago

Trying to locate the correct contact to fix the date of birth on my newly minted I-194. By scouring the USCIS website there are a number of forms to which typos can be adjusted but it appears an I-192 or 194 is not one of them.

Help?

I would do 2 things.

-I would email them the mistake with copies of the same things I am mentioning below
-I would then MAIL them a copy and supporting documents including the front page of the I-192, proof of Canadian Citizenship and ask them to fix it.

Do not mail them the original, photocopy only. In the meantime, I have seen this before and generally i find they still let you in.

Welcome to the I‑194 Waiver Forum

A discussion forum for any Canadian who has been refused entry to the United States because of a criminal record, a previous overstay, a health-related ground or another reason.

To travel to the U.S. again you need a waiver: you apply on Form I-192, and if it's approved you receive an I-194, usually valid for 1 to 5 years.

How it works today:

Apply and pay online through e-SAFE, then give your fingerprints and photo at a designated e-SAFE port of entry. CBP no longer processes waivers at preclearance locations in Canadian airports.
You'll need RCMP fingerprint results dated within 15 months, court records for every conviction, and a personal statement.
The filing fee is US$1,100 (USCIS fee schedule, October 2026).
CBP quotes 90–120 days after biometrics; members here often report much longer. See the timelines threads.

Last checked against CBP and USCIS: November 2026.
