Surname and Given name swapped in new passport

Upvote:2

So to clarify:

Your old passport is correct
Your old visa is correct
Your new passport has it wrong

It's definitely something you'll want to do, to prevent problems. Yes, it'll likely be clear what has happened, but given how strict the US is - for their own passports, they offer a FREE, expedited service for correcting passports, which are prioritised well above general passport applications - they'll expect the same from other citizens.

Ultimately, it'll come down to the discretion of the US border agent to decide if it's clearly just a mistake, and even then they're likely to give you a telling off for trying to travel with an incorrect travel document.

You probably don't want to leave it up to them, so I'd recommend getting it fixed ASAP, before you travel back to the US.
