Automatic Revalidation

USA H1B Visa
1

Hi team,
any help on the below question would be greatly appreciated,

We know that we can use to ARV(Automatic Revalidation) to exit / enter the US on an expired H-1B visa. However, we should not be outside the US for more then 30days.

Question: can we do multiple trips of 2-3weeks each ?
Ex: 3 Weeks in Dec-Jan and
3 weeks in Apr-May?

Total 6wks!

You can absolutely do multiple trips as far as each trip is not more than 30 day to qualify for AVR. For H1B/H4 Canada and Mexico are considered contiguous territories allowed to visit and use AVR.

Hi @vijaymetre

I am planning to visit Canada and return back to USA using ARV channel. Would you please share your experience if you have been to Canada and returned back to USA through ARV?

Thanks in advance.
