Hi all. I recently got hold of my birth certificate from my home country of Australia which I needed in order to get married to my U.S. citizen spouse. My Australian passport has always said that my place of birth is Sydney, Australia. I have always in the past listed Sydney, Australia as my place of birth for previous US visa applications (eg. my H1-B etc.).

However, my birth certificate lists my place of birth as "St Leonards". St Leonards is a suburb of Sydney, Australia. The birth certificate does not mention Sydney at all on it. As a result, my marriage certificate lists my birth place as "St. Leonards, Australia", because the town clerk who filled out the marriage certificate copied my place of birth from my birth certificate. On all the AOS forms that I have filled out such as I-130 etc. I have just been putting Sydney, Australia for my place of birth. Do folks here think this will be a problem? Should I put "St Leonards, Sydney, Australia"? Or something else?

Feb/Mar sometime: Received greencard in the mail. I can't remember the exact date, I have blocked it out as it was so traumatizing. It was just my luck that the USPS had some kind of substitute postal worker on duty the day my greencard arrived. For some reason that's never been explained to me, he didn't deliver my greencard and instead it got placed back into the postal system. We pushed the postmaster to find it and it was eventually found and hand-delivered by the postmaster to our house about two weeks later. The longest two weeks of my life!
