The misrepresentaion would be on a tourist visa application, mispelled name, the tourist visa was denied, now on the K1 they are saying there was misrepresentaion on the tourist visa application. It seems to be a case of bad proof reading on the "immigrants" part, how a few typos can screw up your world!!
This sounds to me like an incomplete, possibly inaccurate story. . .however, if it is completely truthful, it should not be difficult to prove it was a slight error. The petitioner/beneficiary will probably have to file a 601 anyway.
I would consider a consultation with an attorney, if I were your friend, as they might be able to do something we as "civilians" don't know about to contest the decision.
If your friend is determined to come to the U.S. you can find more information on immigrate2us.net about the I-601.
The package that goes with the I-601 is a lengthy process that must be very thorough. They must prove that not admitting the beneficiary to the U.S. would cause "Extreme Hardship" to his USC spouse/fiance.
