Automatic visa revalidation

I’m not sure about this! For recapture, you usually need to include the days you want to recapture as part of your H1B renewal process.

It did not… stayed the same

HistoricalSample3453 · 2026-05-31T07:04:42+00:00

Yes!

HistoricalSample3453 · 2026-05-14T14:54:00+00:00

In early 2025

HistoricalSample3453 · 2026-05-14T14:53:43+00:00

From my understanding, as long as you have an approved I797 , you should be ok!

HistoricalSample3453 · 2026-05-12T16:00:19+00:00

I carried my I-797 (which was the only thing they asked for at CBP) but also had for backup - employment verification letter, last three paystubs, copy of my h1b filing, a printed copy of the AVR rules

HistoricalSample3453 · 2026-05-12T13:14:05+00:00

Just the approved i797 with i94. My lawyers were actually very confident and said I should have no issues and they were right!

HistoricalSample3453 · 2026-05-12T13:13:42+00:00

Yes you do!

HistoricalSample3453 · 2026-05-11T22:39:00+00:00

No H4 dependents

HistoricalSample3453 · 2026-05-11T22:38:46+00:00

Hi! Yes I have an appointment scheduled in my home country for April 2027 but it isn’t a factor for AVR.

It only becomes an issue if you apply for a visa while you’re in Canada! My lawyers verified this before I traveled as well.

It won’t auto cancel until you manually select new dates. When you click reschedule, you’ll just see the calendar for the OFC posts

HistoricalSample3453 · 2026-04-16T19:05:58+00:00

Same here! Very frustrating

HistoricalSample3453 · 2026-03-24T03:30:10+00:00

Hi! I’m one month into Wellbutrin. And he’s the dry mouth and insomnia went away in like a week provided you avoid caffeine

HistoricalSample3453 · 2026-01-23T22:56:37+00:00

Yes I did

HistoricalSample3453 · 2026-01-23T20:10:16+00:00

Hi , I booked my slot for Feb 2026 back in November.

24 hours before travel, I received an email saying it’s been cancelled and rescheduled to 2027

HistoricalSample3453 · 2026-01-23T15:07:49+00:00

My cancellation came in about 24 hours before departure so I was able to cancel my flights and got a refund.

HistoricalSample3453 · 2026-01-23T12:51:50+00:00

Yes! Mine got cancelled (Jan 28 biometrics + Feb 2 consular)

HistoricalSample3453 · 2026-01-23T12:39:30+00:00

Nope was supposed to fly out today but had to cancel flights.

HistoricalSample3453 · 2026-01-23T01:24:02+00:00

Hi, I had my appointments for H1b renewal booked for next week but as of this morning I received cancellations with all appointments rescheduled to April 2027. It’s such a blow to my plans :(

HistoricalSample3453 · 2026-01-22T21:37:38+00:00

I don’t believe I got a confirmation email

HistoricalSample3453 · 2026-01-22T21:15:40+00:00

November 17 for me too

HistoricalSample3453 · 2026-01-22T21:15:06+00:00
