lost passport

[february]

I lost my passport some time back and have recieved a duplicate passport from the Indian embassy here. My previous passport had a valid h1b visa stamped on it.

Would I need to travel abroad to get my h1b stamped again on my passport or is it possible for me to do so here? I live in Washington DC and have photocopies of my previous passport, my h1b visa, as well as the originial 194 and original 797 forms.

Thanks in advance for your response.

------ you have valid I-94, you can stay and work till the validity of I-94, when you go out then need Visa stamp to enter US( take the copy of earlier passport and page that has had stamp on it to US consulate
