Hello great people of nairaland.

i need your help on a matter that bothers me a bit, and will appreciate answers that come from a place of experience or knowledge, if its possible for me to get a VO repsonse, i'ld really appreciate.

So here's the thing, i applied to the U.S 5 years go 2017, and got a visa. i went on vacation and came back after after 10 days.
the Year of birth on my passport was 1985 (correct age.)


in 2019 the visa expired, and i tried to renew, on same passport but unfortunately got denied. (this was during the trump era when getting a visa was extremely difficult.


in 2020, i applied for a new passport (B series) (as old passport had expired), there was a mistake, and the year of birth on the new passport is 1989. day and month is still the same, only the year of birth changed. i tied to modify the year of birth back to my correct age 1985, but the people at the passport office say Age cannot be modified on this new b series passport.

here goes my dilema........ i want to apply for a US visa now, and im confused on what to do, as The records i have with them (U.S embassy) for my approved and denied visa is 1985 and my current passport has 1989. (day and month of birth is the same)

how do i navigate this? do i apply with my current passport (which reads 1989) and tell them there was an error on it? or what do i do??



i need your help guys.

They have your biometrics. Go and look for way to change the age back. It can be done at their HQ in abuja

the guys at abuja say they cannot change age on the new passports (b series), that only their comptroller general can.

It is no fault of yours but theirs, get a lawyer to write to the Nigerian Immigration as you need to take legal steps to get it corrected.
