As a us citizen will it be ok to have put my birth city, and not the state? The city is not showed on the passport just the place of birth being a us state. Applyied from USA? Been a week
Answer summary
A US citizen questioned whether it's acceptable to list only their birth city on a visa application, instead of including the state, given that the passport only shows the state. The responses suggest that the information should ideally match the passport, indicating that including the state is generally preferred.
