@swan0206 Did you get a chance to call the CBP at Peace Arch today?

Sure, please do. Also, please make sure to mention "Do I need to get initial H1b visa stamp on passport from the embassy if I want to enter after 2-3 months or just the initial i 797A &i 94 would be enough?" Thanks!

Did you ask if they will allow just the i797A if we are coming in after 2-3 months ie. not using the AVR?

@swan0206 Did you get a chance to call the CBP today? I'd like to know if we both got the same information regarding re-entry on I-797A. Thanks!

I called Peach Arch and Ambassador bridge and got the same response. It has to be at all borders. There is no way that a rule is possible only at one border. Yes, extension works too. Again, I only discussed my scenario with the officer. I'd highly recommend to call the CBP at 3603328511 ( peace...

The officer told me that they can will allow me in with initial i797A. I asked for around 2-3 months. In my previous comment, I asked if someone can confirm this, maybe you can give them a call and confirm it and post here for our own sanity check. In your example, you can always come back on...

I confirmed with the CBP at Peach Arch again last night. They will allow anyone with I-797A initial approval and I-94. No need to get visa stamped on the passport.

I have myself used AVR in March 2020 at Peace Arch when I did softlanding. Unfortunately, I do not have any url/reference, that's why I called top 3 land borders Peach Arch, Ambassador bridgr, and Peace Bridge. All three gave me the same answer. I don't think anyone has done that before hence I...

I am Canadian PR, did my softlanding in Canada few months back. I have an approved I-797A for my H1b which shall start from Oct 1, 2020. I am planning to work remotely from Canada for few months for my US employer from Oct-Jan after my H1B starts in Oct. Currently I'm on F-1. What issues can I...

Do we have any restrictions on how long can we stay in Canada on H1b? Also, do we need to file a new LCA as I know that your work location has to be within 50 miles or so to the address you are registered at. Correct me if I'm wrong on this?

This helps a lot. Thanks for your input!

Thanks for sharing your experience. I will be going for canadian PR and will be using AVR to get back in. I have expired f1 visa and a valid I 20 and I94. Can you share the questions that the officer asked? Thanks Deep

Hi, My F-1 is expired and currently enrolled in 2nd MS and on day 1 CPT. I plan to do softlanding on March 2nd. Did you end up going for AVR? Can you please share your AVR experience? What questions & documents did the border personnel ask? Your response is highly appreciated. Best regards, Deep
