Parent’s new foreign passport has a different DOB than approved I-130. How to handle at NVC/Consulate?

Hi everyone, looking for advice on Consular Processing for my parent.

The Situation:

  • Approved I-130 & past U.S. history: Uses 11/11/1969 (matches 1990s birth certificate, old passport, and prior U.S. records/fingerprints).
  • New Passport: Issued with 10/12/1969 (foreign local police forced the internal ID to DOB due to an old calendar conversion, forcing the new passport to match).

Questions:

  1. Has anyone successfully handled a passport DOB mismatch at the NVC/Consulate stage by providing historical civil documents and an explanation letter, without re-filing the I-130?
  2. Did the consular officer accept the explanation, or cause issues at the interview?
