LOST BUT FOUND PASSPORT @abujaniv
Hello .. I have a lost but found passport containing my Us valid visa. I was robbed and I made I made a report to the police immediately and headed to the immigration to get an emergency passport reissued. I was called by the Police the third day that my passport has been recovered. So I headed to the immigration office to inform them that my passport has been recovered only to get there and meet my reissued passport out. So I was told that they will need to cancel my old passport without predujice and return it back to me since it still contains my Valid Us visa.
So I was told I will have to be travel with the new passport and the old passport.

Note: I NEVER REPORTED MY PASSPORT STOLEN TO THE US EMBASSY because I found it already.

Now my question is hope I won't encounter any problem traveling with the two passport ? Because my travel date is so very close.

@LagosNIV ... I had to reframe my question sir/ma

Hello .. my own passport didn't expire .. I lost it and found it again and it contains a valid us visa...but I already applied for an emergency passport which was out within the recovered time frame...I went back to the immigration and was told that they will need to cancel the former passport and return it back to since it has a valid visa .... And I was told to travel with both passport . I hope this is good and wouldn't encounter any problem at the POE ?

Note : I never made any stolen report to the embassy

LagosNIV:
Hello Lolawells -

If you have already reported that visa as stolen, it is no longer valid. You should contact us in either Lagos or Abuja, whichever post issued your visa, for further guidance. We may be able to re-validate that visa, and we may need you to apply for a new visa.

LagosNIV

No I have not reported the Visa stolen. I have only reported my passport stolen at the immigration and requested for an urgent one ..... I was planning to travel down to report the visa stolen before I was called by the police that my passport had been recovered ...

Hello everyone I am new on here as someone introduced me here ..Now this is my issue ...An unfortunate incident happened as I got robbed and my passport was stolen with my ATM cards .. I went to the nearest police station to make a police report and avidavict as I was adviced to get a new passport before proceeding to the consulars office to make a report .A day to the new passport to be out , I got a call from the police that my passport has been recovered with other stolen items( Note: I haven't reported at the embassy yet) .. so I went to the immigration office and told them my passport has been recovered and asked if I need to go to the embassy again .. I was told that I don’t need to go the embassy that all they(immigration) will need to do is to put a cancellation on my old passport without tampering with my US valid visa on it since I got a new passport. I asked why? And I was told that Holding two valid passports will give me a problem, so in order to avert that , they will need to cancel my old passport but not the valid visa on it.So i was told that I will need to hold both my new passport and old passport while traveling (Note: I was told that a valid visa in an expired or canceled passport is still valid which I also did some few google search and saw that it's true)..so I want to ask if this is right and won’t give me a problem at the US POE ? Thanks

LadyGuinivere:

OK then. So you are good abi? So no need to still all if you are satisfiedp
Is your passport expired? Are you on all foursome with that scenario? The point I am trying to get you to understand is that you should, in all situations, set stuff on record. You lost and recovered your passport and already have a new one. Which would be wiser? To just inform the embassy here or speak plenty grammar at POE?

ok I get your point .. i will do as just you said .. posted here to get views

LadyGuinivere:

Why would you trust the advice that will be given to you be literal strangers on such a sensitive issue when you can call/ email the embassy and have the best info given to you.. On record too so you have it on record in case you run into issues

i got the advice from the immigration office and not a literal stranger ... and also I made several google search and read on Us website that a Valid visa on an expired passport is still Valid
