Indian Passport Renewal Procedure in US (California)

[Kashish Shah]

Hi, My visa status just changed from F1 to H1 this October and I have not been to India for visa/passport stamping yet.
My Passport expires in 3 months (will complete 10 years) and I need it to be re-issued.
1. Can you please help to list out the procedure/documents required for passport re-issue in California?
2. What is the duration it takes to get new passport?
3. Does the passport number change or remain the same in the re-issued Passport?

Thanks for the help.
