How to get back a visa stamp in my new passport? [closed]
My visa is valid until 2026, but my passport is completely damaged. I'm applying for a new passport. How do I go about getting my visa print back in my new passport?
Best Answer
If your visa is damaged, then before your next trip to the US, you must apply for a new visa at the US embassy, as damaged visas are not valid.
If only the passport is damaged, you can enter the US with your damaged passport with the visa and the new passport together. So the visa does not need to be put in your new passport.

A passenger may enter the USA with a valid visa in an expired passport, provided also holding a valid passport of the same nationality
