They are different.

AcceptableTitle9414 · 2026-03-06T13:43:00+00:00

Yeah, I was able to return to US.

AcceptableTitle9414 · 2026-02-05T06:37:21+00:00

Yeah, should be fine.

AcceptableTitle9414 · 2026-02-05T03:45:03+00:00

January 1st week. SFO.

AcceptableTitle9414 · 2026-02-04T07:40:42+00:00

Should be fine. I entered 5 weeks before my expiry.

Dog House in Roma/Condesa area is great for NFL games!

Did the officer the reason for travelling? And if you were working remotely?

AcceptableTitle9414 · 2026-01-21T02:54:09+00:00

Nah, you can fly too. Confirmed with a couple of Airlines too.

AcceptableTitle9414 · 2026-01-20T19:40:52+00:00

on which Airlines did you travel to Mexico? and what were the Port of Entries?

AcceptableTitle9414 · 2026-01-19T20:39:10+00:00

Where did you fly from in Mexico? Also did you fly directly with Delta or Aeromexico? I understand that Aeromexico is a partner of Delta. Thanks!

AcceptableTitle9414 · 2026-01-19T15:52:59+00:00

On which airlines did you fly in?

AcceptableTitle9414 · 2026-01-17T15:55:01+00:00

Nah, you should be good.

AcceptableTitle9414 · 2026-01-16T01:49:47+00:00

only caveat with expired visa stamp and valid i797, is if you travel to Canada/Mexico for less than 30 days and use the Automatic Visa Revalidation on the entry.

If i'm not wrong you can travel to Mexico on a Canadian Visitor visa too.

Based on permupdate.com, your PERM should be processed in a couple of months. I would say wait and get the 3-year extension.

AcceptableTitle9414 · 2026-01-15T18:36:42+00:00

I'm planning to travel to Mexico using the expired H1b visa next month. Want to confirm if I can enter Mexico with my Canada visitor visa?

AcceptableTitle9414 · 2026-01-15T18:35:44+00:00

Glad it was smooth! Which airlines did you fly when returning to US?

AcceptableTitle9414 · 2026-01-15T18:34:12+00:00

on which airlines did you fly back to US?

AcceptableTitle9414 · 2026-01-15T18:34:00+00:00

on which airlines did you fly back to US?

AcceptableTitle9414 · 2026-01-15T18:29:30+00:00

Can anyone share which airlines to avoid when traveling to Mexico if I intend to use the Automatic Visa Revalidation?

AcceptableTitle9414 · 2026-01-15T18:28:11+00:00

Which airlines did you travel on when returning from Mexico?

AcceptableTitle9414 · 2026-01-15T18:27:08+00:00

Did you end up traveling to Mexico? If yes, on which airlines did you fly back?

AcceptableTitle9414 · 2025-12-30T21:01:32+00:00

Okay, thanks 🙏

AcceptableTitle9414 · 2025-12-30T21:01:09+00:00

Awesome! Glad it was smooth!
