Help. Place of Birth mistake

[jamesfred4477 0]

Good day!

I am currently processing my documentation for my US VISA. When I tried to get my Birth Certificate from the NSO it says that I was born in Manila. In my US VISA Application it was stated there that I was born in Ormoc City. How will this affect my VISA applciation and how can I correct this one.

Thank you.

I don't think its a major issue. Sometimes people don't know where they were actually born until they get a peek at their BC.

Thanks Hank_. Honestly, I am a worrier type of person. And I was so worried that after waiting for more than a decade for this VISA to come, her I got bumped with y place of birth.

Well its just my opinion. I don't look at the embassy as wanting to rain on anyone's parade, they just want to keep things on the up and up... and making smiling couples

In what process are you in right now? Are you done with the NVC stage (case complete) already?

Just sent the first form for my address and representative.

When it's time to submit the DS-230 form, include a letter of explanation regarding the discrepancy on the Place of Birth. You will submit your original NSO birth certificate as proof together with other civil documents like CENOMAR, NBI clearance, photocopy of passport bio page etc..

On your passport, what place of birth is written? POB on your NSO BC should match POB on your passport.

Thanks for you suggestion, it gives light to my situation. I still don't have my passport, because I don't know what POB should I use.

When you apply for a passport, DFA will follow the POB written on your NSO BC.

You should get a passport ASAP to avoid delay in the NVC stage.
