| Sep 14, 2020 at 16:10 | comment | added | Peter M | @Kyralessa That the discrepancy hasn't been noticed is a separate issue, but previously successfully traversing immigration doesn't negate that an issue exists. And for anecdotes I was once hassled at a US embassey when picking up a visa because even though it had been granted the embassy employee on the spot didn't like the way my application looked and almost didn't issue the visa. And I was once detained at LAX because the immigration guy didn't like how my valid visa looked in my passport. So I am wary of situations where documentation is not correct. | |
| Sep 14, 2020 at 15:03 | comment | added | Kyralessa | "Hi I have had a us visa for a few years and have only recently travelled for work purposes and back again a few times for a couple of years now." You're technically right, @PeterM, but technically anything could happen anywhere at any time. To me it seems reasonable to surmise that if "a few times for a couple of years" this birth date discrepancy wasn't a problem, then it's not suddenly going to become a problem. If it's a genuine problem then how did so many border agents miss it? | |
| Sep 14, 2020 at 13:48 | comment | added | Peter M | @Kyralessa Past performance does not guarantee future results. Immigration personal have a wide range of options when admitting someone to a country and each transaction you complete with them is a separate and distinct occasion. So while one official may gloss over the difference and let you in, another official may look and go "WTF is this discrepancy?" and not admit you (or admit you after being held for hours). | |
| Sep 14, 2020 at 7:13 | comment | added | Kyralessa | If you've already traveled using the visa, it sounds like it's not a concern or it would have come up already. As your birth date is printed in the passport, it's not as if they can pretend it's your mistake. If anyone brings it up, I'd just politely point out that it's a mistake and the correct date is printed in your passport. | |

| Sep 13, 2020 at 21:18 | comment | added | Ángel | Why should they be angry with you if it's their fault to begin with? Even if you had provided the wrong date in your application, it's something that should have been flagged when compared to your passport. I would worry about the timing for getting a fixed VISA reissued, or COVID-19 related travel bans interfering with that. | |

@canonacer nice try, but on a US visa the date you mention would be shown as 04JUL1970, so there isn't really much room for confusion.

| Sep 13, 2020 at 6:23 | comment | added | canonacer | What is your correct date of birth and what is shown on the visa? I ask 'cos (for instance) in the UK we show 4th July 1970 as 04/07/70 but in the USA it's shown as 07/04/70. | |
