Damaged my passport and visa: Process of getting visa stamped on my new passport?

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Admin]

I had damaged my passport and visa. I have got a new visa done from Indian embassy in USA but I have plans of traveling to India in December? I am on F1 status here. So anyone knows the process of getting the visa stamped on my new passport? Will it be a problem for me? How many days will it take for me to get the new visa stamped as I'll be going back to india just for 20 days. Is it possible to get it done in 20 days?

Firstly, it will not be a problem. You need to attend the VI in India. You will be issued a VISA without any questions. Stay cool.

Hi I had the same issue. My passport got damaged but this was at the visa interview. She said get a new passport and mail to vfs and we'll stamp the new passport. Once I submitted it, I had it in less than 10 days.
