Birth Certifcate or Passport?

[Petersburg 5]

Hi guys, we are preparing for an interview in Russia, and we have a problem in our hand: fiance birth ceritifcate indicates one place of birth ; while passport say another. it's long story; of course we are worried how to explain this at interview. Main document in former soviet republic is passport, not a brith certficate, and i-129f and I indicated info from the passport. Does anyone previoulsy has this problem? What might happen? Any input is appreciated!!!

I think that you should not wait until the interview to try to explain the different birth place. Any explanation that you try to present during the interview process may require documentation to back up your explanation. I think it is better to come to the interview with the documentation ready to present. You will feel better if your fiancée will have this done before the interview.

She can go to her local police department and request that they give her a paper explaining why the passport and birth certificate have a different birth place. If she has a family friend who works for the police department it might be helpful to ask the family friend for help in getting this done.

My wife had the same issue... I did not think it would be a problem but she went ahead and had it fixed so I don't know if it would have been or not
