This is exactly what I thought at first, because the immigration office should have my info in their database right? But when I called the consulate, they told me that the only way I could get a new visa sticker is to go back to NYC and have them stamp it in my new passport.
Anyway one more question: do airline staff (or anyone else at the airport where you depart, you know, those people who check your passport when you're in line for security scanning and boarding) have the right to refuse to let you board because of something related to visa?
