Hi everyone,

Does anybody reenter the US after landing to Canada with a valid I94 and expired US visa?

I am planning to landing in June. I cannot revalidate my H1 visa in the US since it has expired for over one year. I am planning to go to Canada just for 3 to 4 days and will not apply for new H1 visa there. As I remembered the new rule says I should be able to reenter. Does anybody have the experience?

Thanks a lot!
 
How can you have expired visa and valid I-94?

And your re-entry depends on whether or not you have a commonwealth passport that is in the visa waiver program.

But I am still confused about your valid I-94 and expired visa thing...
 
This is not uncommon actually.

This is not uncommon actually. My visa was expired because it has a shorter validality period than my I94. And my I94 is still valid now. A person don\'t need to have a valid visa to stay in the US. Valid I94 is enough.

Thanks for your reply.
 
I would double check it

I believe the new law says that if your H1B visa is rejected in Canada, you can not come back with an expired visa. If I were you, I would double check it.
 
yes, that\'s my question

Yes, that\'s my question. the new rule says that if I am applying for a new visa and get rejected, I cannot reenter. But, how about I will not apply for the visa? Can I still reenter with the valid I94 and expired visa? The rule didn\'t clearly mention this....

Thanks.
 
No Title

In case u are giving a try dont forget to post your experience.

However I feel they will not let you into US on just I94 and expired
visa irrespective of your going to canada is for visit or visa stamping.
 
What if I am not from commonwealth nation?

Hi Ray,

Thanks a lot for your information. Unfortunately, I am not from commmonwealth nation. Do you know I should apply for a visa or not?

Did they still check your passport for any visa (no matter expired or not)? Also, did you cross the border after Apr. 1.

Thanks again.
