Name correction in passport,visa and i94.

You must fix it where it is broken, and that is the passport office of your home country. When you apply for a passport if you only use one name, then that is what they issue your passport under. When you take your passport to AMCON, they assume that is a surname and you have not first name, so they must enter something and that is FNU for "first name unknown"

An immigration attorney can fix this at the USCIS office. It was your mistake and since the CBP didn't make the mistake, as that was the name on the passport, visa and I-94 (which you fill out) there is nothing for them to correct.

Thank you very much......so you mean to say that I can get this problem fixed by changing the name in the VISA through am immigration attorney.(my passport is already corrected).

The visa can only be re-issued by the US consulate, and those are only outside the US. The USCIS in the US can only correct the I-94.
