Passport number mismatch on US visa
A Columbian national is coming to the United States for a visit.
She has noticed that her passport number and the passport number listed on her visa are different. Is this normal, or a potential problem?
Best Answer
If the passport number, and the passport number listed on the visa, do not match then this mismatch could cause serious difficulties during travel. For example, a border control officer could conclude that she was somehow trying to use somebody else's visa to enter the country.
She should contact the US agency which issued her visa, tell them about the problem she noticed, and ask them what they can do to correct the situation. This should obviously be done as soon as possible before commencing travel.

How can I change my passport number in U.S. visa?
Passports can no longer be amended; therefore you will need to apply for a new passport. You must provide us with the original documents and their photocopies (single-sided). Original documents will be returned to you after reviewing your application.Does my visa become invalid if I change passport?

However, there's no need to panic, either. Although it's true that the State Department does not provide a way to go back and change an already submitted DS-160, you can go online to submit a new, corrected DS-160, print the new confirmation page, and bring that to your interview at the consulate or embassy.What makes a U.S. visa invalid?
A common reason for visa revocation is that the holder stayed in the United States longer than was allowed. Visitors to the United States are often confused by this issue, thinking they're allowed to stay in the U.S. until the expiration date on the visa itself.Apply // Renew // Update Passport- What To Do When Visa Is On Old Passport // Get New Passport
