Is this a B2? And how does one forget an expired visa? Unless it was not attached to your passport or you actually left the US without your passport.

Of course, I am not a lawyer.

The Expired Passport contained the valid visa, forgotten in a desk in USA and the Current Passport is in my possession in Bogota.

It Is a B2. I'm hoping the valid visa is in my "electronic footprint" with TSA/immigration?

or am I stuck / delayed with getting a temporary visa to re-enter ?

Did you get your new Colombian passport while in the US? Otherwise it suggests you left without your passport? How is that legal?

In any case if you had a B2 in an expired passport, it is still valid (I came to the US with two passports, one expired but has my US visa). I was just lazy and did not transfer it, but there is no problem doing so. You just might have to explain your passport-in-the-US situation.

How did you manage to get back to Colombia without the passport with the visa? (I also have an expired one but TSA checked my Visa).
