I've got this conundrum:
In order to work in the US on a project, the company's lawyer organised my visa. My application was for an O2 visa, tacked onto another artist's O1 visa.
I got my Notice of Action and then got my visa from a Canadian consulate. I entered the US, and the immigration officer marked O2 visa on my I-94. Everything seemed fine.
Then, the O1 artist was fired, but I was left on the project. This lawyer said this wouldn't affect my status.
I left the US and returned on the same visa, HOWEVER, what I had not noticed up until this point is my Notice of Action says 'O2' visa and my passport Visa (and the database) says I am an 'O1' visa holder. This is likely the result of a typo at the consulate.
The officer at the port of entry noticed the discrepency in the paper work, but let me through as an O1 visa holder. His logic was 'The computer says O1, so you're an O1'
Any advice as to whether this discrepancy is something to worry about next time I try and enter the country?
