revalidating H-1 visa

[lingchen]

I plan to travel to Canada for a week in January. My attorney told me that the old visa stamp in my passport, together with my current valid I-797 form will automatically revalidate the old visa if my stay in Canada is less than 30 days. To be sure, I telephoned th INS and the officer told me that he was not aware of any such automatic revalidation rule.
Does anyone know of such automatic revalidation, and if possible, the section number of the rule?

No Title

THere\'s no such AUTOMATIC revalidation!
 You need to go thru the whole process -> schedule appointment at US Consulate in CANADA, prepare all the necessary documents and fees etc.
FYI check out these websites:
