Need Clarification on automatic visa revalidation

[Louisville79]

I was wondering if one goes to Canada for H1b Interview. Is it possible to come back to US using "automatic visa revalidation" ? I was on F1 then changed to H1 (Not stamped yet on the passport). Is it possible to travel to Canada and come back to US in case of 221g.

Thank you

hi gurudev

in case of 221g u can't come back to US on F1 valid visa unless u have full time course enroll in any university. U need to have valid I20 if u have any plans to come back to US.

An individual is not permitted to utilize the automatic visa revalidation rule if they have applied for a visa at a US Consulate or Embassy while they were abroad.
