false rumor: about immigrants entering USA from canada/mexico

[jaxen]

So far the news I have seen is this
http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/lawenfor/bmgmt/inspect/docrequirements.htm

which asks a US citizen to show a passport to enter US from canada /mexico. Although a subsequent para says BC or DL is accepted for US citizens!

If you have a old expired H1 stamp and a new valid h1 approval, per AC21 (take a hard copy) you can enter US.

If you went to canada/mexico for stamping and the stamping was refused, unless you had a valid I94 and a different status you can fall back on, per April 2002 memo, you cannot enter US.

All others , there are no new restrictions till now. If there is any, please post the link in this thread ASAP, so that everybody can be forewarned.

Jaxen,
When you say "status" you mean visa, is that correct?

 

[jaxen]

No

status is different from visa (which is the stamp). Please do not divert attention to non issues.

Hi Jaxen,
I apologise if it sounded like I was trying to divert the attention. I was unable to understand what "status" meant. The information would benefit me and several ppl I know, hence the question.

Thanks.
