VISA and Extension booklet to Passport

I am on a L1B VISA that is valid till March 2003. I got this VISa stamped in Toronto in March 2002. However, I (almost) ran out of pages in the original passport and got an extension booklet from the Indian Embassy in New York. The embassy staff told me that I can travel with the VISA in the original booklet, although my new passport number is the number of my extension booklet.

Has anyone gone through something like this? That is entered US with VISA in a booklet different than the most current one?

:confused:

Thanks!!

Carry both

You must always carry ALL your passports when leaving/entering a country (especially US and especially after 9/11). It does not matter that your current VISA is on an expired passport (or on a current Passport with no blank pages).

I have joined both my passports with binder clips so they stay together.

I am just scared of living to be 100 years though ;) Carrying the weight of all those passports is sure to kill me if nothing else does. :)
