Travel at Land border - New I94

[rocky127]

Good day folks,

 

Can someone please let me know if I can drive to Canada and come back after 2-3 days to get revised I94 for my son.

 

We just got our L1A- Blanket visa extension but my son's passport is expiring in May 2018 and accordingly his I-94 was given until his passport expiration date.

 

We still have valid visa until March 2019.

 

I see option at CBP website : https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home

Visiting the U.S. & Arriving via a Land Border?

 

Would appreciate if someone can share their experience on this?

 

Thank you very much

Assuming you have a visa for Canada then you can certainly return with a new I94 for your son . You have to make clear that he needs a new I94 and that the rest will be using AUTOMATIC VISA REVALIDATION.

Thank you , we are Canadian PR holders so visa is not a issue.

My Attorney told me that its up to the mood of CBP officer to do this as they are not required to change I 94 for people travelling less than 30 days from US/Mexico.

 

Using this provisional I-94 thing may help.

 

Appreciate your response pontevecchio.

AVR is not a compulsory infliction. It was devised to help and not hinder people in their travels. You pay your 6 or maybe 12 USD and you get a new I94. Many reports of people having done it. In  any case you do have time on your side and worst case you file another extension for him later on. Let us know

Sure, will let you know

 

Thank you very much!
