The Visa Office can only revalidate the following types of visas: H, L, O, P, E or I. These visas can only be revalidated if your passport contains a previous visa of the same classification as the visa now being sought. See instructions below on how to apply. If you do not have an existing visa in your passport of the same category that you seek, you can only obtain a new visa by applying at a U.S. consulate or embassy abroad.
B1/B2 and F visas cannot be revalidated in the U.S. If you have questions about revalidation in the U.S., contact the revalidation office at 202-663-1213 between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. If you do not qualify for revalidation in the U.S., you may wish to get a new visa at a U.S. border post. Otherwise, you may apply at a U.S. consulate or embassy overseas.

to the State Department by clicking on this icon. Due to the volume of inquiries,
Visa Services cannot promise an immediate reply to your inquiry. Inquirers with
visa cases in progress overseas should contact the appropriate U.S. consulate or
embassy handling your case by letter or by phone. U.S. consulates and embassies
abroad do not have interactive e-mail addresses.
