Birth Certificate and Passport DOB MisMatch

[Hflyer001 0]

Hello All,

My fiance has her interview comingup within two weeks in India. We just noticed there is a mis-match between her DOB shown on the passport and her original birth certificate. The DOB is common between passport and ALL other document EXCEPT the birth certificate.

I am afraid this may come up as an issue.

Do you have any suggestions to resolve the issue or to mitigate the risks?

I guess one option is to take a notorized statement form her parents and a close relative testifying her original DOB that matches with the passport to provide as a supplement to the original birth certificate.

Do you think that is a good idea?

Thanks you very much in advance!

Michael!

BIRTH CERTIFICATE: Bring your original birth certificate, as well as a clear photocopy. If it is in any language other than English, bring a notarized English translation. If you do not have a birth certificate or your birth certificate is missing your name, your date of birth, or the names of your parents, submit the following secondary evidence:

 School-leaving certificate, matriculation certificate or Certificate of Recognized Boards from the school you last attended; your baptismal certificate from a church. OR

 A notarized affidavit executed by a parent, if living, or another close relative older than you. This affidavit should clearly state the relationship between the relative and you, how well the relative knows you, the date and place of your birth, the names of both your parents, and any other related facts.

Your fiancee already has a Birth Certificate and the date is incorrect.As per my knowledge the above does not apply to you.They may ask her to get the date corrected in the Birth Certificate which might delay the issuance of visa.They might keep her passport in case they want to issue a visa and ask her to submit the correct Birth Certificate.

Its better to get everything changed according to the birth certificate, passports and other documents. The process has become very easy and liberal now a days.
