Canada Landing formalities
As I need to complete landing formalities, I need to go out of USA and to Canada.
I understand US borders are supposed to do Automatic re-validation and not issue new i94, but saw in many forums, US Immigration tends to issue new i94.
So wanted to understand, if we travel before 10 Apr 2019 Will there be an issue
Will We be awarded new I94 …what will be the expiry date of that i94…as i have visa and my spouse will use AVR …so confused
Is my petition considered as Expiry amended to April 30,2020 or extension only gets effective from April 11,2019.
If somehow they issue i94 with expiry date of April10,2019…will i extension become void ?
4.Any issue happening at Canada USA border for using VISA to enter and using AVR route ?
Does having 140 , cause any issue for using AVR for my spouse?
Please do let me know if you guys will be able to guide and advice me ?
Thanks for looking into my query…
CBP does not issue i94 normally within 30days…bt there have been reported incidents…on CanadaVisa forum…where they have send candidates to secondary Inspection…and then there they have issued new i94…so was not sure if they do issue new I94 based on current petition i.e. 10April ,2019…will my already approved extension (11April2019-30April2020) be valid ?
My son and spouse are on H4 only…srry for not being clear on this…
I meant automatic revalidation when i say AVR…not sure where i got this acronym
You would have got a new i94 already with your extension approval. isn’t it?
I think people who have got new i94 must have requested it explicitly based on their extended i797. That’s what can be done at US border if you request CBP explicitly.
Yup did receive new I94 section on bottom …bt the new extension starts from (11April2019-30April2020)…so was confused if they issue new i94 at border based on current 797 and visa i.e. 10april 2019…will that not invalidated the one mentioned on 797 bottom part
