traveled yesterday domestically in US and had passport to go through TSA, put passport back in purse zipped pocket as didn't need it to board. At home, found pocket of purse unzipped and no passport. So don't know whether I didn't zip it and passport fell out or what happened. Anyway filed reports with airline and airport, called taxi company and restaurant. Will file a police report for the lost USA visa as required.

Assuming the worst, getting a new passport isn't a big deal but seems getting new visa stamp is from what I have researched so far.

I originally got the visa stamp in Australia where I was on work secondment and seems that you are supposed to reapply for visa stamp at the original embassy. I have seen one post that says you can ask a different embassy if they will take the case - anyone have any comments on that as Canada would be easier for me now?

Also does my husband on his L 2 have to also reapply seeing as his visa piggybacks off mine?

Thank you in advance if you can give me any advice.

thank you, yes they will no doubt help eventually but it's the weekend and the corporate lawyers move slowly and this will be considered low priority to them I am sure! I know I will get a faster response from this great knowledgeable crowd and can help me feel more calm as I need to go to Canada in September so not that long to get a new passport and new visa stamp (though hoping I can time it so that I can attend the Embassy for interview in Canada at the time of my intended travel there in any case rather than going to Australia before that time frame!)
