Hi, I am a canadian PR coming to USA on H1b.
The Port of entry on my H1 is CHENNAI. Can I come to USA from canada and will I have any problems at the border.
Please share your thoughts

If you have Valid H1B stamped on your passport and do not have I-94 better come by flight to USA from Canada and airlines staff will give you white I-94 which you have to fill up and INS officer will stamp it with date at Airport, on border you have also to get the I-94 and it will take time and lot of questions at this time. You can Go to Canada or UK or any other contry Port Of Entry will be in USA when you enter and it can be any border or Airport of USA, I did not understand this PORT OF ENTRY CHENAI? CHENAI is NOT port of entry to USA.It can be exit from India, but if you have not taken flight from Chenai, it has no problem, you can take the flight from Delhi , Bombay ,you can reach France or Canada, it has nothing to do with Port of Entry to USA.

The visa on my passport has expired, but canadian PR does not need visa to enter USA, right?
Just I-797 approval form should be ok. Is that correct?
 
No Title

but, i do not have this border crossing card.
Do u think they will let me into US showing my passport(no VIsa) and the valid i-797
 
sivaa, I am not sure. Logically they should

I hope you don\'t have any problems. Be prepared for lots of questions and keep all the doc that prove your employment in US. If possible get a letter from your employer.

I am also planning to travel to Canada for my Canadian PR and returing with AP.
