US B1 Visa Tourist - Passport Anomalies

[ihmo]

My Inlaws are visiting their son in US , both are above 65 , got their passport done in May -2011
They did not check for minute details when they got their Passport , now they plan to visit the consulate jointly to get their B1 Visa but I noticed follwoing anamolies , can anybody help with best suggestion.

1) Spouse Name
Husaband Name as in Passport : given Name : ABC
Sir name : XYZ

Spouse Name in wife Passport : ABC XYZ PQR ( here PQR is expanded name of husband's second initial)

Does this needs to be corrected before they applied for VISA ?

2) Address error
Husbands Passport has House # no house name
Wife's Passport has House Name but no House # - they both stay in the same house , but to counsellor officer they can be different
Does it need a correction again in the passport ?

3) Date of Birth :
Wife did not have any birth cirtificate or Record , so an affidavit was made , date as 28 AUG 1947 , in the passport it is printed as 8 AUG 1947 - does this need correction or Counsellor officers are not interested in DOB records -once a date is approved by Passport issuing authority ?

4) If they went together or separately to seek a VISA - will they be asked to show Marriage certificate etc

Best Regards

1 and 2 do not matter.

3) DOB is a very important entry in the passport.
Ideally it should be corrected.

If she does not have any other document that shows a different DOB
(school, college certificate etc.) she can continue with it.
Only problem is;
She may have to enter her DOB in multiple places while applying and travelling;
DS-160 form for visa app. , on embarkation forms in India, on
customs forms in US, I-94 card etc.

If she forgets, which is very likely and enters her real
DOB, it can cause problems.

4)Marriage certificate is not mandatory for a B2 visa .
they can take some proof of their being married ( pictures together)
joint account . They mostly do not ask for these, but let them carry those just in case.
