What if your birth certificate doesn't have City

What if your birth certificate doesn't have City? It only has province and division.

On my naturalized passport I have place of birth as my province. When I filled the DV form I put the province as City of birth.

Could this be a problem?

This could be a problem because you filled in your DV application inaccurately. Regardless if your Birth Certificate mention the city of your birth or not, a province is still a province, and not a city.

You should have put the name of the City of your birth when it asked for the name of the city instead of the name of the province because when you get selected, on the DS-230 form that you will have to send back to KCC, it will asked for "City of Birth" and it will also ask the "Province" in a separate questions.

In my case, each province has a capital city, which has the same name as province name. In any case I can tell the US Immigration Officer I was born on the capital city of the province. If birth certificate doesn't have the city of birth, how do you even prove your city of birth to US Immigration Officer?

On July 1 2009, can the entree for DV Lottery able to see what information he/she has entered into the form during Oct 2008? Also, if an entree happened to win DV Lottery, would KCC also send information pertaining to what entree has entered into system at the start of DV Lottery, with other forms such as DS-230? I just want to make sure that information entered during DV Lottery application and filling DS-230 forms match. I can't remember what I entered for city, but pretty sure it is the province name on my naturalized passport.

I am Sri Lankan by birth and naturalized Canadian. I worked in the States few years. Better opportunity in the State than Canada or Sri Lanka. I just want to make big money and go back to Sri Lanka for heavenly retirement :D.
 
Where is your interview? If it is in Sri Lanka they may know the province name and city name, but if it is in canada or us then consular is less likely to google the name of provinces of sri lanka before your interview.

If I win then most likely in Toronto, Canada.
 
Just reaffirm for future reference. KCC doesn't send you the submitted information at the start of DV. So when you submit, make a backup by printing what you have entered into the system. This way entered system and filling of form DS-230 match

This year maybe different. You maybe able to see it online. But I doubt it. It will just tell you if you are a winner or not. No more information will be made available online with your case number.

If you made a mistake online entry you can correct it. Take a look at this thread: http://forums.immigration.com/showthread.php?t=299081, http://forums.immigration.com/showthread.php?t=293451
