New U.S.Passport and Indian Tourist Visa.. Please help..
Hi,
My daughter's (minor, U.S. Citizen) passport expires early next month. We applied and got a new U.S Passport. Last month, when we went to submit the passport application, the person at the post office told us that since the U.S.Passport still has validity, it must be submitted along with the application.
The new U.S Passport arrived recently but we did not get the old U.S Passport back that still has valid 10-Year Multiple Entry Indian Tourist Visa.
Has anyone in this forum been in this situation ? If so, which approach would work / did work ?
1. Calling the U.S Passport Customer Service to request for the old U.S.Passport.
2. Calling the Indian Embassy to get the Visa Transferred to the new U.S Passport for a fee of $25. But then, in this case, would the Indian Embassy require us to send the old U.S Passport that has the valid visa -OR- just copy of the old passport is sufficient ?
Could someone please help....
Thanks in advance.
