Unique H1 situation and need advice about Automatic Visa Revalidation Rule AVR

I am in unique situation and I need you advice about Automatic visa revalidation rule and if I will have any problems.

I came to US in 98 on B1/B2 visa since then I have maintained my status and as of right now I am on H1 which is valid till 2013. I have never left US and have all the previous expired I-94 and 797 to show that I was in status since 98. I do have an expired stamp visa in my passport. I want to visit Canada for few days and want to use AVR rule to get back in US. I am not going to embassy for stamping. I am a citizen of Pakistan.

NSEERS is no longer effective as per the link below in CBP website

My question is if I will have any trouble coming back to US while using AVR rule?

If you had entered US on B1/B2 visa in 98, its valid up to 1 year max after extension. So you got H1B on 99, max to max H1b is allowed 6 years that too after 3 years extension, so it must be 2005 its expiry date about your validity.
