Automatic Visa Revalidation (AVR) - Does it apply for F1 to H1B change of status?
Hi! My husband got his H1B in October 2020 after being on F1. He was supposed to get his stamping done in June 2021 in Canada but his appointment got cancelled. The next appointment we were able to get is for March 2022. So he has not been able to get his H1B visa stamped in his passport. I was wondering if he would be able to travel to Canada for less than 30 days and return to the US without having a H1B visa stamp in his passport using Automatic Visa Revalidation (AVR). He has a Canadian PR so he is allowed to travel to Canada but we are unsure about him being able to return. Would really appreciate any help/advice. Thanks!
