Guys here is my situation, need help -

1. I have valid F1 Visa till 15 June 2021.

2. I am on H1B Status in USA (change of status from F1 to H1 was approved in Sept 2020).

3. I have H1B stamping appointment in Vancouver in May 2021.

4. I want to use AVR to stay in Canada (PR card holder) for 29 days and enter US on 30th day. I want to do this repeatedly until my stamping appointment.


Here is the official link where it states -

If you changed your status to H-1B/H-2B/L/J and want to re-validate with a valid or expired visa of a different classification, you can do so provided you meet the requirements under 8 CFR 214.1 (a)(3)(b) and 22 CFR 41.112(d), you may apply for admission to resume your non-immigrant status.

Question -

So does this mean that I can use AVR facility using an un-expired F1 visa and a valid i-797 approval notice and i94 to re-enter the US?

Thank you!
