Hello,
Hoping to get some help and feedback on this issue.
I just received my visa and CPR from Buffalo. All the information is correct except for my passport number. It's not even close to my actual passport number.
Anybody know if this problem can be corrected at the time of landing or do I have to retun the visa to Buffalo for a replacement? The accompanying letter only specifically stated that mistakes in name, DOB, citizenship and country of birth need to be reported back to Buffalo.
Thanks.
Eric

Point out the error to the officer at the port of entry when you land.

Don’t take a chance. Bring it to the notice of the CHC that is handling your case.

For: Allrosario
For someone who asks a lot of simple questions you appear to be very
knowledgable about processing procedures and how matters are handled at
Ports of Entry. Are your giving advise from years of expereince or gut
feelings.

Years of traveling experience. I don’t think you have traveled a lot. That is the most unreasonable suggestion you have made so please back of we don’t need miss guidance from ignorant people.
