birth certificate address
I am working on my adjustment of status documents. I was born in a village which come under a Tehsil followed by a district. Due to the recent delimitation in my country, the Tehsil has become the district. in other words, Tehsil is now the main city. All of my documents have the previous district name on it except the birth certificate because I recently obtained the copy of birth certificate. Since I must submit the birth certificate during the adjustment of status, what should I do? should I use the previous district name or the new district on green card documents? In either case what supporting documents shall be useful to avoid any confusion or delay in the adjustment of status?
I can obtain the affidavit of delimitation of the district.
thanks,

Should not matter. My birth certificate only has district name. My passport has my city name, completely different and doesn't specify the district. I used the same city of birth as passport in my i485 application and it was approved.

@A Arr! thank you for the response and sharing the information. the city mentioned on my passport is my old district name. I have used the old district name even in filing the I-140.
when I recently obtained the birth certificate, they mentioned the name of new Tehsil and district. there is no mention of old district. I am wondering if I should use the new birth certificate or get the affidavit from the attorney stating the proof of birth certificate mentioning my old district name. thank you for the help.

Wait for an RFE before doing that. Why do you want to invite additional scrutiny? They usually only look at the birth certificate for the country of birth.

@A Arr! thank you so much! if the purpose of birth certificate is to establish the country and not specifically the city, then it is fine.
