Admitted with wrong status after overseas trip

[laub]

Based on husbands relocation I was issued with an L2 visa, since my employer offered to transfer me and I now have an L1 not dependent on my husband.

The L2 was CWOP. and I entered successfully on L1 and began work.

After a recent overseas trip I checked my I94 and they admitted as L2 status... what do I need to do? as obviously this should be L1 .

Very easy to solve. It happened to me! Go to the nearest CBP Port of Entry. There is no need to go to their office. Take your passport with the 2 visas and the I-129 with you. It just takes 4 minutes. In the same moment they will retype your entry in the computer and you can see in your phone the new class - they can re-stamp your passport or just change the number 2 by a number 1. The I-94 number will remain the same.

Now, remember to always double check the class of admission in CBP. They usually don`t speak that much but I always say: please confirm to me the class of admission, let me check the stamp...I had one mistake done in the past and I don`t want to fix it again. Simple like that.
