Hello guys,
I have read in older threads (year 2011 and before) about this. As per this one can reenter in US without stamping (h1b) if the travel is less than 30 days to countries like Canada, Mexico etc...

Is it still applicable?

I have stamping on my Passport for my first term of part time H1b. After 2nd extension I did not go outside of USA and later I have got it converted from part time H1b to full time H1b.

Any suggestion will be helpful.

Thanks,
Chikoo.

I am not sure on what this part time and full time H1B. But yes, AVR is still valid with few restrictions. Please refer the link below before you plan.
