Hi All - For my parents, I have filled and signed I-134 form, is it okay to send scan copy to parents so that they can share with with consulate, or it needs to be actual wet signed document?

Thanks!

My mother-in-law got a visa interview slot for January at the Delhi consulate for a B1/B2 visa. However, she only speaks Telugu and does not know Hindi or English. Does the Delhi consulate provide Telugu translators? If so, what is the process to request one? Has anyone here had a similar experience needing a Telugu translator for a visa interview in Delhi?

My parents-in-law, who are currently in India, have been granted a B2 visa in May 2023. Unfortunately, they lost their passports (in India) and have reported the loss to the local police, filing a complaint.

They applied for a new passport and received it in last week. However, they found their old passport which had B2 visa.

Can they travel to USA on the visa which was stamped on the recovered passport?
OR
Do they have to redo stamp their visa again onto new passport?

Any suggestion would be much appreciated.
