Hi guys,

As you know Marcel and I are moving onto the next phase. We have a situation, but think that we have it figured out. Here it is...

When Marcel went to get his police report from Cyprus he noticed his birth date was incorrect and questioned it. They said that is what was on his passport. He never realized they have the birth year as 1983 and it should be 1980. What we have though is his original copy of his birth certificate and an affidavit from the courts stating that 1980 is his year of birth. Is there anything else we can do? Is this sufficient?

Thank you in advance for your help....

Melissa

So his birth cert states 1980, which is correct,but his passport states 1983? I don't think the embassy will like that... I'd get a new passport- and then police cert- if I was you.

I'm not sure how he would get a new passport being he is not even in Nigeria. The police report is not going to be a problem. He is gong ot have to call home and have his dad find out how he can get anew passport etc...

Marcel just called his brother who is going to the Immigration office tomorrow to see if he can get a signed affidavit from them verifying his birth date and that the issued passport was incorrect.

The Nigerian embassy wherever he is currently living will help him to obtain a new/corrected passport.

I would doubt that in a high fraud country such as Nigeria an affidavit will be sufficient.

I sent and email to the Embassy in Cyprus to see if this will be enough proof. There is just now way he'd be able to go to Nigeria for a new passport. The closest Nigerian Embassy is in Turkey which is still going to cost money but not as much. :(

If he is a student he can inquire at his University's International Department if the Nigerian embassy will send officials there to issue a new passport. They often do because passports expire and need to be renewed for many students. They travel to different Universities. My fiance got his renewed in the nick of time after a very short notice. They were last in Famagusta. They will return to deliver the renewed passports within 2-3 months to the students. You can call the embassy in Turkey to inquire when and where the next renewal will be.

The passport with the wrong birth year will be a problem if you don't get it changed and I also do not think an affidavit will be sufficient, it could throw you into many months of AP ( Adiminstrative Processing ), as long as up to an additional year if not flat out denial.

Thank you for this advice. I am going to talk to him tonight and get him to go to the school.I don't think he realized that this can be an option.

Oh no! FH is Nigerian as well. Unfortunately Marcel WILL have to go to Nigeria to get a new passport. I know FH has to go back home to get a new one to correct his name. The reason is because Nigeria now has a new passport done on a new machine and at this time only one embassy outside of Nigeria (NYC) has the machine. :( This makes it hard for us too because that's an extra expense for him to go home and get it, but since it needs to be done, we have to do it.

I called the Nigerian embassies myself because I could not believe what FH was telling me. I called the Nigerian Embassies in The Gambia, Dakar, DC and NYC. The NYC woman told me that if there was a way for him to come here on a visit, we could drive down to NYC and get the new passport there but even that won't work out for us so we're planning on him going back to Nigeria next month.
