Possible Birth Certificate problem

[Sherri and Matt 1]

I am the USC and I am engaged to a UK citizen. I am starting to gather official documents and I have only 2 concerns.

My mother did not disclose my father's name on my birth certificate. All the info says it needs to have the names of both of my parents, but mine has my mother's name and for father it says "Undisclosed". Has anyone else had this?

The only other thing that makes me nervous about us is on his birth certificate. The funny family tale says that his dad was giving the information to the people for his birth certificate while his mother rested, and his dad gave the wrong date of birth for his mother. I don't know how in depth they check or anything, and everything else is accurate.

I appreciate any advice or help. Maybe I am worried for nothing. I think we are very fortunate that in all of our research these are the only 2 things we worry about, but like everyone else, the ANXIETY!

They only care that you are a USC.... Family history is not so much a concern... If you want, instead of the BC submit your passport pages instead

I totally lied....I have a 3rd concern.

The name on my SS card is Sherri and on my BC its Sherrie. My mom always spelled it sherri and I always did. I never knew it was ie until I got my driver's license and they of course went by ie. I spent 30 minutes talking to the SSA and they said apparently when my mom got my SSN she put down sherri and back then they did not verify with BC. I bet Homeland Security does.

I need some Valium.

In your case on the forms put the name that you have been using all along "Sherri" as your name, and on the line "Other names used" put your Birth Cert name.

Again USCIS is concerned with if you are a US citizen or Not.

SSN alone does not indicate whether a person is a USC or not... a missing "e" may not even be noticed if it was .... don't worry

Correct,

US Birth cert, Naturalization Cert, or US passport proves US Citizenship.
