Lost Passport with US Visa [duplicate] - Passport on Top of a Planner

I am currently living in Geneva. I lost my Indian passport with US visa and I am wondering if I should apply for the Visa from Bern or from India. I contacted the Indian consulate and they told me they will get me a new passport in a couple of weeks. Has any body been in this situation before? How did it go?

What happens if the embassy lost my passport?

What Should a U.S. Citizen Do if his/her Passport is Lost or Stolen Abroad? You will have to replace the passport before returning to the United States. Contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate for assistance. Contact information for U.S. embassies and consulates is also available in our country information pages.

Do I need a new U.S. visa if I get a new passport?

Do I need to apply for a new visa with my new passport? No. If your visa is still valid you can travel to the United States with your two passports, as long as the visa is valid, not damaged, and is the appropriate type of visa required for your principal purpose of travel.

How do I transfer my U.S. visa to my new passport?

It is not possible to transfer a US visa from one passport to another without making a new visa application. When you have a still-valid visa in an expired passport, you can travel with both documents without transferring the visa.

Can my identity be stolen if I lost my passport?

Once you report a U.S. passport stolen or lost, it immediately becomes invalid for travel, making it harder for criminals to steal your identity or travel under your name.
