Hi

Thank you very much for your information. Will i get the same passport number on my duplicate passport or the new one?

Hi, I am working as an IT consultant in US (with L1 visa) My passport was accidentally water damaged. But the characters are clearly visible even in my I-94 and Visa. Actually i planned to apply for a duplicate passport through Indian consulate Washington DC. For that i need to send my original damaged passport to them. But i have a question like, If i send my damaged passport to indian consulate, Will i get my original passport along with my duplicate passport? Anyone have idea on this? Because my visa stamping will not be in my duplicate passport. I tried to call the embassy helpline number, but i didn't get any response. Please help me in this regard.
