Can I apply for Schengen visa from foreign country?
I am travelling to Usa for a conference and my nationality is Bangladeshi. I have B1/B2 visa for USA. Recently i also got an invitation from italy. But because of my travel date to usa is nearby i cannot apply for italian visa or Schengen visa from Bangladesh. Cause for visa application they will take my passport. So my question is, can I apply for italy visa from New York, usa. I don’t have any permanent residence id or something only the valid visa. Is it possible to apply?

Many embassies allow you to take your passport while they process your application. So you can (1) submit documents for a Italian visa - they will copy your passport and give it back to you. (2) travel to USA (3) return to Bangladesh and, assuming visa is approved, visit embassy to put it in your passport.

You cannot apply from the US as one of the requirements is:

(screenshot from the requirements pdf available from the Kingdom of the Netherlands website)
So as you have stated you do not have permanent residency in the US, your only option is to apply from Bangladesh and ask for expedited service (if applicable); or just apply once you have returned from your US trip.
As noted in the answer to the suggested duplicate, there is an exception. Whether a consulate will actually entertain such an exception is another matter, of course, but it is likely to vary by country, so the Netherlands website isn't going to give much indication of the practice of the Italian consulate.

The exception is not for Italy, it is for all Schengen countries, so is the application form which is unified. In addition, Italy uses VFS in the US to process applications for short term visas - there are no more direct appointments and interviews as was the case previously.

The decision whether to allow the exception is made by the individual consulate, however. Practice is likely to vary from one country to the next.
