Ginnu,
I want to revalidate my H1 visa from St Louis.My problem is my passport was stolen from my apt and I have the police report.I had an H1 stamp issued from canada and it was expiring in Jan 2004.But on the state travel department site its says (copied below) to reissue a visa the previous visa should have been revalidated/reissued in Washington.Does it mean that I cannot revalidate from St Louis.I'm assuming my case is a new visa revalidation and not a replacement.
Thanks
The Visa Office may reissue a lost or damaged visa ONLY if the:
1.visa is a E, I, H, L, O, or P visa, AND
2. visa was revalidated (or reissued) in the Visa Office, in Washington within the last 12 months, AND
3. applicant includes a copy of a police report or evidence substantiating loss, AND
4. applicant submits all the necessary documentation and fees as required for a new visa.
