Visa corection

[Emwinb 0]

How the Embassy deals with a visa that was issued on a passport that has an incorrect birth of date?

 

Once you get the passport corrected. how do you think I should? 

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

It was basically a mistake, but I rectified this time.

in fact, it was too complicated to change BoD on passport 

once it expired. this notified and get it corrected.

Now I need opinion on that.

I don't wanna loose my visa

You applied for a visa with passport that was wrong on purpose. I dont think there is saving this.  Material misrepresentation.

That's right i need Opinions on that.

What I should do to fix that and how the Embassy deal with kind of issues before I authorize the correction

Wait. When you applied for the visa, did you list the birthdate incorrectly on the DS160 to match the incorrect passport? Or did you list your correct date of birth on your visa application?

Yeah, I had to

It couldn't be otherwise. the reality is I didn't want to miss the opportunity to go to US

the purpose of the travel was for a training in DC

To correct it after I noticed it, would take me too long to have it back, procedures were long.

So you knowingly gave false information on a US visa application, and then signed it confirming that all the answers were true...knowing they weren’t. Did you read the declaration that you signed at the end properly, and were aware of the implications of lying?

You’ll obviously need a new visa with correct birthdate to match the new passport. You have to disclose previous visas. How do you propose to explain the discrepancy in birth date?

honestly, I don’t understand why people knowingly lie on visa applications. It always comes back to bite. If they decide it’s a material fact that you misrepresented - and they might, because it affects background checks - you could face a permanent ban on entry to the US.

You are right on some points.

Look, it was not my fault, this mistake.

As I told you, I didn't want to miss the opportunity. that's the only reason why I did it and I thought that It would be easily got it corrected.

My country, at that time, was facing some problems mostly with the passport books. the delivery of the passport was soo difficult.

The mistake was your fault.

Not the mistake in your passport, the mistake was knowingly lying on a visa application.

The problems in your country with passports don't matter, you should still never lie.

 

This might stop you ever being able to go to the US again

You are screwed. You intentionally lied for a visa. This can lead to a lifetime ban for misrepresentation.

 

Don't blame it on difficulties of your country. This was a selfish act. People apply for visas the right way that come from countries with bigger problems than yours.

 

Contact the embassy and explain what happened. It is better for you to explain now than for them to find out on their own. But be prepared for the consequences.

Agree with others, the passport mistake wasn’t  your fault, but intentionally lying on the visa application was.

Why did you not fill in your correct dob on the visa application and explain the discrepancy at the interview?  If passport issuance was as big a problem as you say at the time, the embassy would have been aware of it. Yes you would possibly have missed out on a short term opportunity - or the embassy would possibly have made a note of it and issued you a visa anyway - but now you’ve put at risk all future travel to the US. Anyway as others have said, your only option now is to explain this to the embassy and hope you get a sympathetic CO.
