Re: LOST PASSPORT WITH H1B visa stamp inside

1. How much it will cost to replace my passport

Depends on your home country. You should contact the consulate of your
home country

2. If I need to leave the country to go to canada/Uk etc to get the visa
stamp in my passport

If you leave the country, then you will need a US visa to come back.
However, you do not need a US visa to stay in the US.
The US consulate in your home country is the only one which has the
obligation to process (note that I said process and not approve) your
visa application. Other US consulates may process it if they're nice
with you - but there's no guarantee of that.

3. How long the process takes

That would be a regular visa application. That greatly depends on your
citizenship.

4. I have no other form of id here, is ths going to be a problem???

In most cases, you can use your passport as a form of ID while within
the US.

You can use the approval notice to show that you are legally present in
the US.

It would be good if you have a copy of your I-94 ; you can surrender
that when leaving the US in order to have your departure recorded (and
avoid being accused of overstays)


Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks
Fiona
