Visa stamping vs Automatic visa revalidation

My wife is a Canadian Landed Immigrant, living and working in the US (Detroit) on a H-1B. She does not have her H-1B visa stamped on her passport. She has to go to Windsor on Thursday (may 4th) for a Canadian Citizenship hearing - day trip.

Profile:
=====
(1) 24 Feb 2003 she was issued a multiple entry B1/B2 at Toronto US consulate as a
Canadian Landed Immigrant. We were living in Windsor at that point in time and made
some weekend trips to US.
(2) on March 27 2004 she entered US on a TD visa. She got her TD stamping at US
consulate in Toronto
(3) She renewed her TD status while living within the US in Feb 2005. However we did not go
to Toronto for stamping
(4) Oct 2005 she converted over to a H-1B inside US. However we did not go to Toronto for
stamping

Given the above facts can she leave re-enter Unite States from Canada by Land border without having a H-1B visa stamped on her passport. She currently is on a valid H-1B status in US and is working for a US employer with pay stubs and everything.

well, why not?
for one day trip, do not surrender I-94 and re-enter using that. should work in theory. unless there are some restrictions placed on her due to her nationality.

Thanks for your prompt reply. No she is an Indian so does not belong to the list. Do u have first hand experience information or just guessing ? Because u said should work in theory.

Some people say it is risky and it is upto the will of the officer at the port of entry, is that true ?

No matter what type of visa(H, L, E, B, F, VW, automatic revalidation, etc.) you have, admission is full discretion of officer.
