Quick question

[RebeccaJP 0]

Hello again!

My fiance and I are going through the K-1 paperwork and I wondered how best to describe my mother's birth place. She was born in Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia in 1950 (which became Harare, Zimbabwe in 1982) - which is correct for the form?

Thanks in advance.

I would put whatever is on her birth certificate.

I suggest you use the current name

Agreed, I would put whatever is on your mom's birth certificate. If you want to include a separate sheet of paper explaining the name change of her birthplace, that would be good too. (or I would put a post-it on her birth certificate to explain it there, to save you a sheet of paper)

wont really matter..but put what it stated in her birth certificate as long has no change on it ever since the name of the town changed

Agree with putting what is on her birth certificate. Lets assume for instance I was born in some place that no longer exists (lets say, Atlantis). Regardless of whether it exists now I was born there. I wasn't born in the Ocean (which is where Atlantis would be 'cause apparently it sunk right?).

Make sense?
