Does it include the first two digits or not?

My wife's K1 visa which she used to enter the states does not have these two digits in the "passport number" section, and neither does her DS-160.  Did our lawyer make a mistake here?  If so, would she need to correct it during the adjustment of status?

 

Thank you.

The said two digits are the passport series. The format in the Russian passport is XX_XXXXXX. I believe the full number should include nine digits without a space between them. However, if your wife's DS-160 was submitted with a short 7-digit number and K-1 visa was issued, I wouldn't worry at all and stick with it. USCIS uses A-number for identification purposes, not a passport number.
