WOW, it was just an accident. Don't beat yourself up. Simply contact the consulate and see if you are still able to travel on it. If you are, then no worries. If you aren't, they will probably re-issue you a visa

Good luck

every single consulate seems to be telling people ANY damage even slight=invalid visa. My husband is refusing to believe them because these consulates get money for visas. We need help off people who may have got into USA with a damaged visa. I can't let myself ruin my life over this, but I have done. I can;t do the interview again, the stress has already reduced me to a mess. I need to go back ijn timer just one tiny afternoon's worth because I only got my visa delivered today, and I am functionally retarded.

simply cannot do the wgole process again, is this REALLY what I have to do just because I have tiny white dots on my picture? And not like the one person says they have just one, but I have lots of tiny ones.

I need an answer that says it will be OK because I can never forgive myself for destroying my life like this, it has NOT been an easy process to get this visa for me because of my brain disorder, I have been through absolute hell on earth and it has cost me thousands in psychaitric, medical and lawyer help. I can never, ever live with myself for being so retarded as literally drooling on my visa (yes, this retarded.)

I simply cant do this again. It will finish me. I'm already fairly sure I suffered a mild heart attack AFTER the medical (tightness in chest, lasted an hour.)

Don't beat ur self up please, u need to breath in and out sloooooowly. Now pick up ur phone and contact ur consulate and tell him exactly what happened. Just call them but please be quiet and clear with them don't let them feel u panicking. Please think positively and don't think that u messed up before knowing the real answer from them. Please contact them and let us know cos I'm really worried abt u!! Best of luck and I'm gonna pray for u

There have been cases before yours where something has happened to a visa - one person even washed his passport with the visa in it by accident. It will invalidate the visa that is in the passport only - it does not invalidate the process. You do not have to do it all over again from the beginning. You just need to contact the Consulate - explain that the visa has had water spilled on it and what can you do about it. Ask if you can come in and if they can officially cancel that visa and re-issue one that isn't damaged. The documentation has been damaged only - not the approval for the process that resulted in the visa.

You've come this far, you have climbed over many hurdles - not one is going to steal your victory away from underneath you at the last minute. You are fine. You are upset because this does mean so much to you and it is so easy to be afraid of losing what is important. Think how well you handled the medical situation. You can handle this just as effectively.

So, take a big breath, contact the Consulate, explain what has happened and ask them when you can bring back the passport to have the damaged visa replaced.

You'll be fine. Honest.

Kathryn all the links say they made people do the process again, or at least they make you pay the entire fees again and I can never, ever forgive myself I am literally retarded.

also I really really need for my sanity a better answer than i invalidated my visa after precisely 1/2 an hour of owning it. I absoluely am wallowing in self hatred.
