  • Mismatched Birthplace on Birth Certificate and Passport

    Hi guys, I?m new to this forum. Love the people and their energy here...I am currently applying for AOS concurrent filing with i-130 from my husband, a US citizen. Bumping into a couple of issues hoping to hear your advice on here..

    My situation is:

    ? I was born in a province that no longer exists in my home country.
    ? When my passport was issued, the agency used the issue place as my birthplace. Not sure why they did it. Probably because my real birthplace is not a place anymore.
    ? Since arriving the states, I have used the birthplace on my passport as I did not know how to handle the situation

    Now that I am filing i-485, I want to make sure all information is correct. I am thinking of using my real birthplace and attach a note to the passport bio page explaining the situation. I am not sure that would suffice, and if so if the following would be better choices?

    ? Write a separate formal letter explaining the situation and attach to the passport bio page
    ? Just put my correct birthplace on i-485 and other related forms without further explanation
    ? Should I obtain any other additional documents to explain the discrepancies or prepare any of those in advance in case of RFE? If so what should I do

    I took the medical examination last month and I think I used the birthplace on my passport?not sure if I would have to take it again, but I hope?the envelope has been sealed and I would have to pay again for a big fee.

    Many thanks in advance for your help. Just really trying to avoid any RFE or delays in the process.

    Is there a way for you to get a certified document from your home country explaining that your province doesn't exist anymore? if so that could help. I'd definitely be honest in your interview though if you can't get a letter like that to submit along with your own letter, and just explain that the area does not exist anymore. Best of Luck
