Parents got 10 yrs visa even though DOB was wrong in D-156
Hi All,
I had put in an incorrect date of birth for my father in D-156 which i could not edit later on. My parents had their date on 18th Oct and i did not wish to cancel the appointment.
As advised, I filled in another D-156 (downloaded from a site) with the corrected date of birth and sent it along with the original D-156.
This is what happend at the consulate:
My dad during the interview pointed out to the consulate officer that there was a mistake. The officer looked at both the D-156s and removed the duplicate one out of the file and asked my dad to correct it in the original D-156 it self in front of her. The lady then corrected it in the system. She was extremely accomodating this matter.
There were some other typical questions : How many children do you have, where are they, why are you going, who is sponsoring ..etc
After the responses she granted them 10 year visa.
I thought i will just post our experience for the sake of all the people who would have made similar mistakes. Again, this is not a proof of any kind that visa would be granted to everybody in a similar situation, it is just that there are cases when these mistakes dont matter as long as you point it out to the consulate officer.
Hope this helps
