A:
it is possible to correct a mistake in your date of birth. However, the process may vary depending on the circumstances and the agency involved. In your case, since you made a mistake in converting your date of birth from the Hijri Shamsi (Islamic) calendar to the Gregorian calendar used in the United States, you may need to take the following steps:
Contact the government agency: The first step is to reach out to the government agency that recorded your incorrect date of birth, such as the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the Social Security Administration (SSA), or the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Explain the situation and provide evidence of your correct date of birth, such as a picture of your ID.
Contact the ID issuing agency: If the agency cannot correct it, contact the agency that issued your ID to request a correction. Provide the agency with a copy of your incorrect U.S. government record and evidence of your correct date of birth.
Seek legal assistance: If you cannot correct your date of birth through government agencies, you may need to seek the assistance of an immigration attorney. The attorney can guide you through the process and represent you in any legal proceedings that may be required.

Yes, it is possible to correct your date of birth if you made a mistake on your U.S. immigration documents. You will need to submit a request to correct your records with the relevant U.S. government agency.
To do this, you will need to provide documentation to support the correction, including your original identification documents such as your passport, birth certificate, or other official records. If you do not have your country ID, you can provide a copy of the picture of your ID that you have as evidence.
You should contact an immigration attorney or the relevant U.S. government agency, such as U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), for guidance on how to proceed with correcting your date of birth. They will be able to assist you with the specific requirements and procedures for correcting your records.
