i Agree 100% with you, so, ive actually corrected the age on my NIN now to 1985, the major blocker right now is the passport office at abuja, they say they it is hard to modify age on the new passport (the one with NIN) right now im looking for a link in abuja that can help me get this done, i dont even mind paying the amount as long as it can be done.

Bros....U shot urself in the leg oooo

..immigration office cannot make mistake of 85 to 89 if u ddnt register 89 on ur NIN....the applocation wont even go through at point of registering if there is a discrepancy in NIN DOB and inputed age on the system...

U cant travel with that passport oooo..if say the first time u travel to the US..u were a minor...then we can easily explain that ur parents uses the age and u dont know why but u want to correct it....but u were an adult in 2017...u might be banned for deception...

Still u can always change back to 85...This type of change comes from abuja..and it very expensive like 400k because of too many people to bribe... and u have to first change ur DOB on NIN back to 85...

Or u maintain ur new age...and avoid US and her sister countries like the UK canada and australlia

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.

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