What to do about a typo mistake in I 129 form f my HB 1 has been approved?
My company HR had made a typo mistake in the I 129 form by putting my grad year as 3 years ago but actually it was 2 years ago. My H1b has been approved and I need to go for stamping. So will there be problem at stamping or is it fine or should I notify the USCIS about this?

That should not be an issue in any way, really. Just be sure that you have your diplomas and transcripts with you when you go for the consular interview and a copy of the approved petition as well as the original approval notice. Most likely, the consular officer will not even review the details of your petition that closely but in the event that he/she does, you will have the actual diploma and transcript. After all, the H-1B approval hinged not on when you obtained your degree but THAT you obtained your degree and are qualified for the position you are being offered so even though there is that discrepancy, it is not a material mistake.
