I have had a US visa for a few years and have been travelling for work purposes for a couple of years now. However, I recently discovered that the date of birth on the visa is different from the one in my passport: my birthday is in June but on the visa it has being printed out as July. I am worried about what the embassy will say and think when I tell them about it. Will they be angry and cancel my visa since I have used it to enter the US?

This was an honest mistake and I should have discovered it earlier. Can someone please share any advice or experiences of similar circumstances? I am worried that I will not be able to use the visa anymore and could end up in trouble.

    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.

    @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.

    @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).

    Do you have time to apply for a new visa before your next trip to the US?
