A visa cannot be renewed regardless of its type. If an individual has an expired visa or would like to have a new visa in a new passport, he/she needs to apply for a new visa by following the procedures in How to Apply.

If your visa is in a passport that has expired, you will need to get a new passport before you can travel to the United States. You may travel with your old passport (with valid visa) and your new passport assuming that the visa is not damaged. If your personal data has been changed (for example you have changed your surname to reflect your married status), you have a choice to apply for a new visa in a new passport or travel with both passports and explain it to the immigartion officer at the U.S. border.

Holders of visas classified in categories E, H, I, L, O and P are no longer able to apply to renew their visas in the United States. Instead, they should apply for new visas in their home countries, though they have a right to apply at any U.S. Embassy or Consulate abroad. Foreign temporary workers who do not have travel plans do not need to apply for new visas provided they maintain legal status with the Department of Homeland Security.
