Need advice

So we found out the place of birth listed in my fiancé’s passport is incorrect after we made the payment for the interview. We haven’t completed the DS 160 yet. We have contacted the Ghana passport services and we were advised that they can issue a new passport but that will have a different passport number( which is the passport number on the receipt). My dilemma is if we have to pay the fee again with the new passport number or can we schedule the interview with receipt number with already have which has the previous passport. I’m so confused because we definitely do not just want to throw away 240 dollars. Please any advice would be helpful.

Is the birth place correct on all other forms you submitted in the petition and all? Just the passport was wrong?

 

If just the passport, yes, you can take both passports to the interview and show them. A lot of people renew their passports during the process, it's fairly common. Not for the mistake necessarily but to just renew it so should be okay. Simple explanation at the embassy should be fine.

Okay, thank you for your input and yes it is just the passport that has the wrong place of birth.

How about having a correct birth certificate and indicating to the consulate that there was a mistake when that issue comes up . It will be better than doing a new passport with new number
