For automatic visa re-validation, does the visa get extended? can we use the revlidated visa to travel to other countries?

No.It will not be extended to allow you to travel to other countries. It will be considered as extended to the day you seek admission when traveling from any of the visa revalidation countries.

Hello

Just wondering, did anyone try or planning to try using AVR at Lyden, WA CBP office while traveling back from canada by car? I am planning to take that route as it is closer and wait times are less at the border. Your experience with this CBP office would be helpful

Yeah. I am done with my PR Landing in Abbotsford, BC and drove back into the US two days later via peace arch crossing. No questions asked by the border agent other than what are you bringing from Canda. Hope this helps

Hello Guys ,
I am on F1-CPT and with expired Visa, I have read in the above comments that some of them returned back to US using AVR after the soft landing.
Any one has experience coming back via road ?
Also what are the precautions to take.

So no questions about expired visa ? do they even check the passport ?

Hello,
Sorry if this is a repeated question, I just wanted to know if any one had any recent experience.
I am on a day 1 CPT program, course - MS in project management (my previous course was, MS in CS). My visa expired on July 2022 and my i-20 is valid. I am not very sure about my i-94.
My CoPR expires on March 2nd, 2023. I still have to wrap up a few things here and want to finish my course here.
I would like to get my PR validated before it expires and return to the US using AVR.
I wanted to know if anyone had done this recently and could share their experience or pointers.
Thank you.
