Dear Experts,
Thank you so much for your valuable advice!
One more query, there is any criteria to change date of birth?

(Expert) 02 March 2014
No criteria to change the date of birth; other aspects have been properly addressed by experts.

You can change date of birth if it is wrongly mentioned in the passport erroneously in spite of the fact that documents were submitted for correct DOB with the application.
