Had incorrect birth city on my passport

[AndranikB 4]

I'm an American who just got engaged to a Brazilian woman (yaaay). We are in the process of filling out the i-129f form, we see that we can either send in a copy of my passport or birth certificate. We plan on submitting the form after a few weeks because she's going back to Brazil and will renew her passport.

Now here's the issue. I'm visiting my dad currently, and just asked if I could see a copy of my birth certificate just in case. I look at it and is says I was born in Amherst, NY. You see, my entire life I have been told my birth city was Buffalo, NY. This isn't an exaggeration. On EVERY document that's ever required that info, I've put Buffalo. This includes my current passport, which I got about 8 years ago and I've used to travel 5 times total out of the US. My mom and dad have literally always said I was born in Buffalo. So, should I just submit my current passport info anyways? Because evidently that's never been an issue, and they had my birth certificate as proof of citizenship when I applied (even though it has Amherst as birth city?). So should I just leave everything as it is? Because basically my life is a lie and I am very confused as to what I should do.

Amhurst is outlining city much a part of Buffalo

and since you had to submit birth ceritificate to get your passport and they accepted your listing of buffalo as place of birth,  i don't believe this is a probem

Amhurst is so close to Buffalo University where i studied 

it is like any big city with assocated cities attached (better than Lima Peru which has 43 mayors)

i was born in a city (city hospital but birth record sites Town of xxxxxxxx

Omg what an exaggeration. Your life isn’t a lie. Just get a new passport using your birth certificate. It doesn’t look like a big deal to me since they’re neighboring towns.

Guess sarcasm doesn't really work well with just text.

My friend, you wont have any issues ok? Fill out the documents, spend some time reviewing it, when I say review, make sure to send everything as sure as possible so USCIS dont get confused about your paper work. This is a long journey and you dont want to get stuck.

 

Things will work out great. Good luck
