H1B Clearance Receive and AVR

[Siva99]

My current I94 expires June 2022 (Thanks to AVR). I received a new Visa Stamp just today (221G that took 2 months) but it has "Clearance Received" and expires Jan 2021. One Question:

1. After Jan 2021, would AVR still apply?

Thanks guys, your answers are much appreciated.

When you left US you I94 is already gone. When you will enter to USA with your new Visa you will get new I94 and that will be valid one. Forget about your old I94.

I don't totally understand what you are asking. AVR is something you will use then you go to Mexico or Canada or any other near by Islands and have an expired visa but valid approval petition. Since you had 221G and Clearance Received on your visa doesn't have any impact on using AVR again.

Also you don't an I94 currently as you are outside the country. You will get a new I94 when you come back.

Hello,

I have recently received my COPR and will have to do my landing process shortly in canada. I am in US and initially was on F1 and then applied for H1B which got approved and started the H1B status from October 1 2019. I have not left the country and do not have a H1B visa stamped.I have the F1 visa in my passport which is valid till 2021. I have two questions:

1. Does change of status from F1 to H1B mean that the F1 stamp existing on my passport is expired?
2. Can I use AVR to reenter the country with approved I-797 document and current I-94 which is D/S as expiry date when I first entered United states on F1?

Please help in a lot of confusionThanks in advance!!!!
