My H-4 I-94 is valid for two more years, but my H-4 visa has expired. If I go to Canada for a few days, do I need to get a new visa “stamp” before I can return to the U.S.?

Under the contiguous territory rule, one generally can go to Canada or Mexico using automatic visa revalidation (“AVR”) for up to 30 days if one’s I-94 is unexpired. A valid visa stamp is NOT required to reenter the U.S. However, one cannot use “AVR” if one plans to appear for a visa interview in Canada or Mexico. (13.May.2019)
