Typo on passport before applying US visa
My in-laws are planning to apply for United States tourist visa (B). While applying for a passport, they made a typo and as a result, my mother-in-law's first name became "Mrs ABC". Based on my experience, I believe it will create a lot of problems when applying for US visas, buying air tickets, etc.
Should they use the wrong/typo first name when applying for visa or they should fix it before applying US visa to avoid further issues ?

Get it fixed, and get fast priority service, and it's the issuing authorites screw up so they should pay for it.

Make sure to correct the passport as soon as possible. Don't ever travel with a passport that has a typo. You would risk one of the followings :
- end up in jail (worse case)
- end up in a retention center
- be denied country entry at the airport until this is sorted out
- have to go back to your country of origin without any delay
- pay a fine
So don't try, you would run into problems and lose money if not more...

They must have their passports corrected immediately, and stay away from foreign authorities until it's done. The US, in particular, is very quick to draw the conclusion that an applicant is committing fraud in some way, and if they do, you can forget ever setting foot there in your life
