Error in Surname on F1-Visa Sticker already issued

[braghustudentvisa]

Hello

 

I am checking for my friend here where he got admission to college in Texas for Masters. He attended Visa interview and got approved. Passport released with approval sticker for F1 Visa. After receiving approved Visa stamp noted that there is error in Surname (with one letter typo). we reached to UStraveldocs customer care and no move for last one month (other than standard response - please wait we are working and escalated). His college already started last week and now college sending notice that they will cancel admission. What are his options here:

1. Can he come without any correction in Visa Sticker and explain to POE officer if he find it ?

2. If he doesn't make it as issue, what are my next steps? Will it be an issue when i visit to India and apply for correction and they question me how can you travel with error in name?

Thanks
