Can anyone please help me with this. It is quite urgent.

Answer 1

I fail to see where they're going to put the visa if you've lost your passport. You should apply tell the Indian embassy that you've lost your passport and apply for a new one. Then apply for the H1B visa (don't forget to tell the US Immigration that you've lost the I-94).

Answer 2

Whether you find another way to stay in the US, or you are required to leave, you will need to replace your passport (cost - US$125):

You will also need to replace your I-94 (cost - US$320):
