Place of Birth:Birth Certificate "Madras"|Passport "Chennai"


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi All,

Have a question regarding birth certificate for I-485 filing.
I was born in "Madras, India" and the birth certificate shows the place of birth as "Madras".
The birth certificate is available as e-copy in "Corporation of Chennai, State of Tamil Nadu, India" website.

In 1996 the name of the city changed to "Chennai" officially and my passport shows place of birth as "Chennai".

 

I have submitted all my papers related to i485 mentioning place of birth as "Chennai"

 

Will this be an issue ? Is USCIS aware that both cities are the same? OR should I include any affidavit for this.

Anyone got the affidavit from Indian Consulate in USA? Do you have the format of the content.

Appreciate your help!!

Thanks,
