Rocky26 Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Hello, I have recently received my COPR and will have to do my landing process shortly in canada before or on October 2020. I am in US and initially was on F1 and then applied for H1B which got approved and started the H1B status from March 05,2020. I have not left the country and do not have a H1B visa stamped.I And also my f1 visa got expired and I have two questions: 1. Can I go to Canada for h1b change of status H1b stamping in Canada? or else 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 advise what are the best options. TIA Quote Link to comment
Tjgarla Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 You need a H1B visa stamping on your way back. I dont think AVR will work here since your stamping is F1 on your passport. It is better to check with an attorney . Quote Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 If you started H1 status, you have an H1 I94. You can use that to return via AVR. You cannot return if you applied for the H1 visa and were turned down. Quote Link to comment
