This is some kind of more or less official confirmation of the fact that a valid passport + a valid visa in expired passport is considred the same as a valid visa in a valid passport: Something new in this area: www.immigration-law.com/What's-new.html Updated 05-28-99: Passport Renewal and Transfer of Visa from Old Passport to New Passport Until yesterday, the consular officer could transfer a nonimmigrant visa "without fee" to a new passport if the visa remained valid and the consular officer determined that the applicant remained eligible. However, from today, the consular officer will consider such application as a reapplication and applicant must pay application fee (this can be expensive for certain nationals who have to pay reciprocity fee on top of visa application fee; for instance, $100+$45 for Indians), according to the newly published DOS regulation and it is no longer considered a "transfer of visas." Important note: Applicants who do not wish to apply for such new visas(reapplication), may travel with their old but still valid visas in their old passports along with a valid new passport.
Кстати, моя тёща не поленилась и сходила в посольство (в Москве), где её заверили, что визу переносить не надо, и даже выдали какую-то официальную бумагу, это подтверждающую. Так что всё consistent :)
