Damaged visa on F1 OPT extension

[vsj100]

Hello All,

I am from India, I did my Masters in US and graduated in the year 2017 May. Current status is F1 and work authorization is EAD-OPT(Stem Extension). Unfortunately my F1-visa and passport is damaged. I re-applied for passport here at Chicago Indian Embassy. I got a new passport. I would need to go to India for stamping.

Could some one please help me on this situation. What should I do now ?

If I go to India, what are the chances on Visa getting Approved ?

I am currently working as a full time employee for an American company, and my EAD-OPT is valid until 2020 May.

Thanks,
vsj100.
