So I lost my British passport in Las Vegas a few weeks ago and am currently going through the process of getting it replaced. I live and work in New York and am currently here on an H1B visa. I have been told that once I have received my replacement passport that I will need to get my visa put in there at a US Embassy outside the country.

What I want to know is how long does this replacement visa process take? Would it just be a case of going in and getting a new one stuck in there?

OR . . .

Would it mean handing over my forms again, giving them my passport and then waiting 5 days or so for them to post my passport back with the new visa in there, like when I first got my visa to move here?

The reason I want to know is so I can decide whether I could get it done in a 1 or 2 day trip to Canada or whether I should do it next time I'm back in the UK for a week or so.

If anyone knows please let me know

Thanks

I think you can still get it stamped in Canada and the earliest would atleast be a day, you will have to give them your passport and they would stamp it back.

You might want to call and check with consulate in Canada just to double check with them.

There was a guy who got stuck in AP, not pleasant and very lengthy.
