  • Which country is my country of birth - USSR or Uzbekistan

    I'm a Russian Citizen, born in Uzbekistan when it was still part of the USSR.
    My Russian birth certificate and Russian passport both state USSR as a country of birth.
    I also have Canadian citizenship and in the Canadian passport it lists Uzbekistan as my country of birth.
    Now, somehow Russia appeared in my labor certificate as a country of birth.
    We are thinking about which country should we put in I-485 - I don't think it will be correct to continue with Russia. But if I put USSR - can it make things worse with I-485? Or should I go back to Uzbekistan and try to explain that it was a mistake to put Russia in DOL application?
    Thank you.

    This is an interesting issue that comes up with others from the same part o the world on a regular basis. USSR is your country of birth but you are now a Russian citizen if that is what your passport says.

    Now, when my employer submitted documents to DOL, he put Russia as a country of birth, which is technically not correct. Our labor certification was approved and we just learned about this mistake.
