Need New I-94

[dbatchu7]

Here's my situation : I am on an H1B currently and it is valid till June 22.I would not like to extend it and I wish to use my earlier H4 visa and approval notice to re-enter.Can I go to Canada say on June 21st and re-enter on June 23rd using my earlier valid H4 visa and approval notice.Will there be any problem at the POE ?

Also,we're planning to visit Canada for about 4 days in May.Can I re-enter on my H4 visa now itself so that I can get a new I-94 and will not need to go out again and re-enter in June.Also will I need to leave and re-enter USA in a commercial vehicle if I need a new I-94 ? Will there be any problem at the POE in this case?Do I need to use a commercial vehicle like an airline or a bus to travel to and from Canada ?

I assume you do not intend to work after June 22nd? In that case, you should be able to surrender your I-94 on the way out and re-enter under H-4 status. You don't have to use a commercial mode of transportation. Even if travelling in a private vehicle, you will be able to surrender your I-94 on the way to Canada and then re-seek admission.
