Wrong visa type on US visa. H1 instead of H4 was given

[superaghu]

We applied H4 Visa for my daughter in Feb 2012. However the US visa was stamped with H1 visa type. This we identified only at port of entry. The visa officer at port of entry let my daughter into US using a visa waiver form, however requested us to have it corrected when we travel outside US.

I sent the details to [email protected] with the details and requested the steps for correction. However the response was provided as below. Anybody know if the visa type can be corrected now that she has traveled using the passport and that the stamping is older than a year? Also, will there be any other potential problems for her for entry into US or applying extension or green card?

I would suggest calling Department of States if you are in the States.

Department of States is the governing body of all the consulates and visa issuance.
