Hi, I am in US on H1B visa. My visa stamp has expired but I do have an approved I797.
I have also received a COPR(validity till Nov 25th 2021) and Immigrant visa stamp on my passport. However, my passport was also expiring, so I applied for a renewal in the US from SFO embassy and got it renewed. Now I have a new passport and my COPR and Immigrant visa are still related to the old passport. Also, I am in Seattle, so I can visit a port of entry by road.
I have the following question:
1. Can I visit Canada port of entry and return back to US - BOTH by road, if I have the expired stamp ? I believe the process is called "Automatic Revalidation". Is that still applicable during COVID times ?
2. What documents do I need to carry for that ?
