B1 Visa on Cancelled Passport

The Visa will still be valid there is Visa validity on Visa itself and Visa is valid till that date unless off course if there is any physical damage to the visa itself.

Hi Raghvi,

I applied for B1 visa and my case was sent for 221(g) administrative and they gave me pink slip.

Now in the administrative processing website, the status is changed to SENT PPT. I am supposed to send the passport for visa stamping.

The passport number in which I had applied for B1 visa is changed (due to running out of pages, I have re-issued a new passport). My old passport is canceled and in last page of new passport I am having details of the old passport.

Please reply to below queries:
1. Does the US consulate still stamp the visa on my new passport?
2. Is yes, then can I personally visit the consulate and get the visa stamped? How much time do they take to stamp the visa?
3. If I am not allowed to visit personally, then how much time do they take to stamp the visa & send it via post?

PS: Saw this thread and copied my query here.

Thanks & regards,

Any body here to guide me?

Thanks.

Submit both old and new passport with a letter explaining the issue of the new passport.

This is my opinion not legal advice.

Thanks Raghvi.

You have mentioned about the letter, what do you mean by this? Do I need to personally write the explaination?
