Typo on Visa?

[ZemBaby9188 5]

My husband picked up his passport today finally. I noticed his passport # printed on the visa is correct but it has a "1” at the end when his passport number does not end in a 1. Now at the bottom of his passport it does end in a 1 but not at the top where the rest of his bio info is. I'm worried that this was some typo and he's gonna have to have them reprint the visa. Any insight? Thanks.

since the embassy doesn't answer calls or emails,   i would take the passport up to the main window and show the man there

and ask

Dont worry thats actually normal. Its called a check digit to ensure the previous characters were correct

Well I spoke with a couple of other Moroccans who came over recently on CR1s and they also had this at the end of their passport number. They had no problem entering the US.

It may not be on all countries but if the passport has a machine readable part then it usually will have it to ensure there isnt a misreading.  Attaching a german passport as an example
