Employment Visas Revalidating Visas in the U.S.

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.
