_jaswanth7_ Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Hi Friends, I have a valid visa stamp up to September 2018, I got my extension approved for 2 years from Oct. I am planning to go either Mexico/Canada for stamping in June. In case if rejected, can I come back to US with my existing visa stamp up to Step 2018? Link to comment
JoeF Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 No, you can't. The existing visa will be invalidated. You would have to go to your home country and get a visa there. That's the risk of going for visa stamping in a third country. Link to comment

Thank you JoeF, what if it happens in the home country can we reenter with old visa stamp? Link to comment
Tjgarla Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 The first thing the Visa officer will do when you go for stamping is cancelling you existing valid visa and then start asking you questions. Link to comment
gopalakrishnach Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 No you cannot re-enter if you are rejected. Thats all and simple... Link to comment

No you cannot, your existing visa will be cancelled and stamped with CWOP irrespective of your interview outcome. I would say avoid the risk of stamping and travel on your existing visa before September 2018. Link to comment
sagi85 Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 I think you can reenter with in a month based on this Murthy blog post. But I don’t know anybody personally who tried this. https://www.murthy.com/2018/03/26/contiguous-territory-rule-permits-reentry-from-canada-or-mexico-2/ Link to comment

If you go for stamping you can NOT reenter if the stamping is denied. Link to comment
