I really need some help, I lost passport with I94 and F1 visa and am currently on my OPT period.I have my EAD card,applied for a new passport and got an electronic copy of my I 94.Would I need to get my Visa stamped again for an OPT extension and will the loss of my passport create a problem for the same. also this is long term but while filing for my H1 will I need to show valid visa on my passport or will a color photocopy do,as i have a color photocopy of my Visa.

they will never issue temporary visa.

Register a complaint in police station.
Apply for a new passport.
Inform to US Embassy that you lost your passport and visa.
Apply for a new visa when you go back to your home country.
Make sure you carry all your documents, transcripts , police case etc

Go to Indian Embassy in your city and they will issue a passport and give you a temporary VISA. When you go to your home country attend a formal interview and they will re issue the VISA

If yu not going out of the us I don't think there is a prob. But if yu go out yu need a visa transfer to ur new passport
