Valid Visas in Expired Passports

If you have a valid visa in an expired passport, check the visa to see if it is still valid. If you have a valid visitor (B1/B2) visa, you may use that visa for short trips of business or pleasure until it expires, even if the passport it is in has expired. An unexpired visa is still valid in an expired passport. Do not remove the visa or the page on which it appears in your expired passport. Simply present both your old and new passports to immigration inspectors upon arrival in the U.S.  

Lost, and Mutilated Visas

If you had a visa that is lost, stolen or mutilated, you will need to apply for a new visa. In addition to the required forms, fees, and supporting documents, please bring the following to your visa interview:

Any previous passports (Israeli and non-Israeli) with valid or expired U.S. visas;

• List of entries and exits from the Ministry of Interior; and
• A signed and dated police report for lost/stolen passports, if available.

Please note: Applicants who have an expired visa or who have lost or mutilated a visa are not guaranteed to receive another visa.  You must meet the requirements to prove yourself eligible for a visa.  Please see the additional information under the appropriate visa type to ensure that you bring the necessary documents to your interview, in addition to those listed above.
