<p>Holy moo. What do I do? I put "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" as my country of birth when it's really "Republic of Korea." You'd think the democratic one is South Korea, but it's really North Korea.... What do I do?!!??!?! I've already emailed the office... but I dunno.. what else can I do????!!?!</p>
<p>Don't panic. It doesn't really matter in terms of admission in which country you were born so long as you are now a US citizen or a legal resident of the US. In retrospect, just writing "South Korea," would have been less confusing for all. When countries put descriptors in their names it's usually a counter indicator. Most countries that have "Democratic" in their name are dictatorships. The United States was actually not very "united" at the time of the founding of the nation, as witness the subsequent devolution into civil war. The email should be sufficient.</p>
