Lost passport with US visa, reported lost passport but not the visa, later found passport

Lost passport with US visa, reported lost passport but not the visa, later found passport - White Printer Paper on Brown Wooden Table

I lost my passport and reported it to the police. It had a US visa in it. I neglected to report the lost visa to the embassy. I replaced the passport and later found the old passport with the visa on it.

Can I still use the old US visa or do I have to get a new one too?

I am asking because I don't know what to do about never reporting the visa as lost. Would it look suspicious?



Best Answer

As long as the Visa is unexpired and undamaged you can travel with it to enter the US. You will need to present both passports when entering the country.

What happens if I find my passport after reporting it lost?

Answer: The passport you just found can no longer be renewed since it was already reported as lost. You now need to submit a new application in person at an acceptance facility. Most facilities are located in post offices but there are some in libraries, city offices and courthouses.

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.
