We can't figure it out. I know the visa process requires long form

In Canada, the long-form certificate has the names of both parents on it and their places of birth.

 

When going through the AOS process, I asked my mother if I was issued one because I'd never seen it, and she told me I didn't have one. I've always just had my short-form, so I needed to request a new long-form one from government in the province where I was born. I was able to request one online and it cost about $40.

What country are you talking about? There are all manner of birth certificates from all over the world. 

 

Here is a DOS link that will provide you with types of birth certificates for interviewing embassies/consulates around the world: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant-visa-for-a-spouse-k-3/us-embassy-consulate-specific-information.html

 

You can go to the Form I-129F instructions and look for more specific information and links for USCIS birth cert. requirements: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-129finstr.pdf

 

Good luck on your immigration journey.
