Slightly complicated by the fact that Mrs Heidhurtin is Belizean by birth, although naturalised UK citizen at the time of birth. Sorted by the BHC who were great.
My daughter's travelled with me many times to the USA using the ESTA process and never had a problem despite putting Kuala Belait as the place of birth. I haven't, however, tried to obtain a copy of her birth certificate, both originals are closely guarded. This thread is a useful pre-warning......
I don't think the place of birth will be an issue - it's the citizenship they look at
