Immigration Forum / Canada / May 2006Landing in Canada with a pending AOS. Please help.
Hi , 1) I am in the US on H1B and my I-140 and I-485 is ready to be filed. I need to travel to Canada in two weeks for a very short trip (weekend). Can an H1B travel outside the US while he has a pending AOS? I read that if you do you are going to be out of status, is that true? Is it safer to wait till I get back here to file the I-485? 2) The reason I am going to Canada is to complete the landing process for my Canadian permenent residency. I am only staying there over the weekend and will be returning as soon as the landing procedure is complete. Will my getting Canadian PR have a negative effect on my re-entry in to the US. ( I am using automatic revalidation with a valid I-94, expired H1B stamp, less than 30 days stay). Your advise will be very much appreciated !!!

IMHO you should ask this in US immigration forum. It have nothing to do with Canada immigration. US immigration forum: alt.visa.us misc.immigration.usa IMHO it is better if you have AP and EAD already. > 2) The reason I am going to Canada is to complete the landing > process for my Canadian permenent residency.

Not sure whether it have any effect on your greencard application.

Thanks Arif. Hi L, You mentioned about the automatic revalidation (valid I94, expired H1B stamp, less than 30 days stay) for entering the US from Canada. Is this process still valid? I thought I read somewhere indicating that the automatic revalidation is no longer acceptable and an actual valid H1B stamp is required to reenter the US. Your input is greatly appreciated.

Thank you. Hi Hengkie, Yes it is still valid. See here http://travel.state.gov/visa/laws/telegrams/telegrams_1441.html Where did you read that it was no longer acceptable? All I know is that the rule slightly changed so that if you applied for a Visa while in Canada and was denied or If you are from seven listed countries of state sponsored terrorism then the you cannot use this option.
