bsriram Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Hi, My wife changed her date of birth in her Indian passport, to match her birth certificate, earlier this year (in Feb). She has a H4 visa (with the old date of birth) in the old passport. He H4 visa is valid till Jan 2016. She came to the US couple of days back and was detained at the airport for additional enquiry and was let go with a warning. The immigration officer said that she should have changed the date of birth in the visa.(i.e applied for a new visa) They really did not give any value to the new passport, original birth certificate or affidavits from her parents. Is it necessary to apply for a new H4 visa to reflect the corrected date of birth in her new passport when the old visa is still valid. I would appreciate any advice in this regard.Thanks Sriram Link to comment
pingpong Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 I would consider her lucky that she was let off with a warning. Next time you travel home make sure you contact your local consulate to get it corrected or simply get a new one. Link to comment
bsriram Posted September 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Thanks that helps. We are filing our extensions and the Don change should be reflected in the I-797 Link to comment
