Restamping of visa resulting from a lost passport
I lost my Indian passport (contained an H1-B visa) along with my I-94 sometime back. I applied and got a new Indian passport. I notified the USCIS and applied for my replacement I-94. I estimate it will take another couple months or so to get it.
On my I-94, the date for the end of my stay in the US is November 2008. I am aware that I can get my visa stamped when I leave the country next. However, I do not intend to travel before December of 2008. I will apply for an extension and will probably get it for Novemeber 2008 through November 2011.
Questions:
1. Do I have to get my current visa stamped before November 2008 or can I wait to get my extension and then go to India/Canada and get it stamped?
2. Inorder to get an extension, do I need to have a visa or will an I-94 suffice?
Any help will be appreciated..
