Do canadian citizen on H1b need a Visa stamp to enter USA ?

[asim]

Hello,

My scenario is,

I'm a Canadian citizen, was working on TN status in USA. I got H1b and changed my status from TN to H1b. However i never left USA.

I plan to travel to India for 3 weeks. My question is, do i need to get a Visa stamped on Canadian passport to enter USA ? Do my dependents who are H4 and who are also Canadian citizens, need visa stamped on Canadian passports ?

If i dont need visa. What documents do i need to present to immigration officers at port of entry ?

Are indian immigration officers are aware of this exemption and will they allow me to board the plan without a visa ?

Please answer. Thanks

YEs you will need a H1B and H4  visa stamped on your passport to enter in USA.

If you are a Canadian Citizen you dont need stamping , you can carry the I 797 and go to the border. In fact they will deny any appointment to US embassy for stamping. Feel free to enjoy the Canadian Citizenship benefits. You need I 94 though especially if you are applying for GC in USA , otherwise dont worry if you travel by road. sometimes they ask you for that otherwise they let you in !

as one of the member stated, you just tale your H1B approval and on the POE they will stamp you. No need to book appointment etc. My wife is a canadian citizen and we always go to the canadian border and come back immediately, takes less than 5 minutes. Good luck
