Hey everyone! Finally got my first passport today in the mail. Well, to my surprise, it said under my place of birth: BURUNDI. I was shocked! I was born in Illinois and never have been to Africa in my life! This is obviously an error. Well, I'm now waiting on my birth certificate to come back from DOS that was submitted with my original application. I'm pushing it close as I'm going to the Philippines in June. I called DOS and they said since it's a new passport - just go back to the post office with the correction form and my birth certificate. I told him that THEY have my birth certificate. I know, allegedly, DOS sends the birth certificates at a later date (week or more), but, I need to get this crap handled SOON as I'm busy with other business projects. Any advice?

Thanks a bunch!
