Okay so basically this..

I got to the ssn office to get my status updated to a us citizen and my birthday was wrong on my ssn ( found out because turbo tax efile system said i had the wrong info on my ssn and couldnt file) so i got that changed..

then.. i filled for my cr-1 with my birth place city as "gushikawa" okinawa japan... cause it asks for what city i was born in.. and thats the city i was born in on okinawa japan and thats what it says on my birth certificate.

But on my ssn i found out my birth city is "okinawa" and country is japan.. Okinawa.. is a island part of japan.. and my city is gushikawa...

The idiot at the ssn office was being an a hole and said i had to get my birth certificate translated there.. for them to change my city.. So she hand my a paper.. and says "is your birth place okinawa japan" I said yes... but the city is wrong.. she said.. i didnt ask you that.. i ask you is your "birth place" there.. so i said yes.. and i just left cause she was pissing me off..

Now.. when the officers check for my birthplace and since i put gushikawa city down on my cr1 and they check on my ssn and it shows okinawa.. is that gonna be a big deal??

Should i wake up early .. wait in the ssn line for like hours and get them to translate it.. and all that.. or should it be fine?

Explain that Gushikawa is a city in Okinawa and the lady at the SS office wouldn't change it when you asked her. I can't see how they can deny your visa based on that; you didn't lie or contradict yourself; you were born in Okinawa and that's clear.

I was born in a town that no longer exists because it was made part of a larger city a decade or so after I was born. Should I put that I was born in "Camillus" or "Syracuse"? They're both correct and "Camillus" is on my birth certificate. Nobody cares.

I dont think they would deny it.. but i dont wanna keep getting RFE for somthing stupid liek that..
