E-2 dependent spouse I-94 shows E-2 instead of E-2S — anyone dealt with this recently?

Hi everyone,

I recently re-entered the U.S. as the spouse/dependent of an E-2 treaty investor. My spouse is the primary E-2 investor, but when I checked my latest I-94, my Class of Admission shows E-2 instead of E-2S.

I understand that an E-2 dependent spouse should normally have the E-2S designation, particularly since that classification is relevant to employment authorization incident to status.

I emailed CBP Deferred Inspection requesting that they correct my I-94 and provided my passport, visa/I-94 information, and details showing that my spouse is the primary E-2 investor. I had a similar correction done previously and CBP responded very quickly, but this time I haven't received a response yet.

Has anyone had the same issue recently?

How did you get it corrected? Did you handle it by email with Deferred Inspection, call them, or have to visit a Deferred Inspection office in person? Also, how long did it take CBP to respond and make the correction?

I'm also preparing an I-485 filing, so I would prefer to have the I-94 corrected to E-2S before filing if possible.

Would really appreciate hearing about any recent experiences. Thanks!
