Is it possible to renew an Indian passport in California if my USA?
First, US visas are solely for entry, and the visas expiration date just means the last day on which you can enter with it. When the visa expires is completely irrelevant when you are inside the US. What matters to your stay inside the US is your status, as given on your I-94. Your visa being expired wont affect your ability to renew your Indian passport as long as you are in status. But if you are out of status, then you wont be able to renew your Indian passport; you can instead get an Emergency Certificate from the Indian consulate. The Emergency Certificate is a passport-like travel document that can be used to return directly to India.
