DOB incorrect on Passport - Interview in couple of weeks

[ThankGodUK]

Hi,

My niece's incorrect birth year is mentioned on passport. She along with my sister in law has a tourist VISA appointment in next couple of weeks. Considering that time is less, can we submit a affidavit mentioning that her DOB on passport is incorrect or do we need to necessarily correct the passport first. Also, we have take her appointment with (incorrect) year as mentioned on passport.

What would be best way to handle this situation. Thanks

Is it a material fact? What country is she from? Is this common? How did this error happen in the first place? Those are all questions that the Consular Officer will have..........
