Re: Reapplying for the same visa - questions
ok, sorry. I thought you meant "official" documents from the authorities.
I have printed out an email which I sent that shows I am asking them to cancel the visa and the reason for it. They also replied and acknowledged that too telling me they have now marked it as being stole and cancelled it and that I should make another appointment to start a new visa application.
I have this email and printed it all out.

Re: Reapplying for the same visa - questions
Thanks S Folinsky.
Ethnicity shouldn't matter but for the record I was born and raised in the UK but have a far middle eastern decent. Stayed in the UK my whole life.
I am a law obiding citizen of the UK and do the same for other countries, especially the US and would never jepordise anything to risk me not being able to go there for business and pleasure thus I followed and did exactly what the london US Embassy website said to do, and its plain common sense, to cancel the visa and reschedule an interview.
same thing with my british passport, which now I have a brand new one.

In Africa, an African-American was more likely to have his passport "liberated."

So the visa is approved.
they didn't ask for the 2"x2" photos?
so how would they add the picture to the visa?
also previously it was a 10 year visa. Would the same be?

Re: Reapplying for the same visa - questions
Almost certainly, yes. It would be very unusual if not, unless perhaps it's considered a re-issueance of the previous visa and has the same expiration date as that visa.

Re: Reapplying for the same visa - questions
I picked up the passport this morning. They issued me a 10 year visa so that's great.
One thing I noticed. This does not have the line "Clearance received on [Date]" where as the stolen one did.
what does this mean?! *freaking out*

Re: Reapplying for the same visa - questions
This is the first time you've mentioned anything about "Clearance". Before we can make a WAG about why your new visa does not have this notation, perhaps you should tell us why the original visa did have it.
As I frequently have to remind questioners, if you want to receive good information you have to provide good information.
