Help! K1 Visa paid and Found out a Clerical Error on my Passport?

Philippine Passport Name Mispelled Found out After Paying K1 Visa, What to do!

This is from a friend of mine who is not member here. Here's her situation.

She renew her passport then when to pay her K1 visa yesterday.

She tried to fill up DS-160 it says her name did not match.

So she check her Passport, turns out that her Passport Name was mispelled.

Her name is Jamille and she did not notice it until today but the Passport was printed as

Jamilee. Now she went to DFA and they told her to renew her passport is the only way to

rectify the mispelled name.

Here's the question:

Should she contact USEmbassy to report that her name on her passport which she uses to pay

k1 visa was mispelled?

She is afraid that she might have to pay the visa again since she paid the visa using her passport with mispelled name?

What should she need to do in this case?

Thanks in advance.

visa fee is good for one year. She should contact the embassy once she has her corrected passport to get the name issue handled regarding the visa (and fee)
