Definition: Your expired U.S. entry visa is considered to be automatically extended to the date of reentry provided that the visa has not been canceled, and that you have not applied for a new visa. To take advantage of AVR your travel must be to contiguous territories and for less than 30 days.
Contiguous countries are: Canada, Mexico, and the adjacent islands: Saint Pierre, Miquelon, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Bermuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Jamaica, the Windward and Lee Islands, Trinidad, Martinique, the other British, French and Netherlands territories or possessions in or bordering on the Caribbean Sea
Does not apply to individuals from Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Sudan, North Korea or Cuba
Do not surrender your I-94 card when departing U.S.
If officer asks for I-94 politely inform them that you are taking advantage of Automatic Visa Revalidation provision
Only for travel less than 30 days
Note: NOT valid for people who travel from a contiguous territory (ex: Canada) to a non-contiguous country (ex: Germany) and return to the U.S. via a contiguous territory
H-1B workers are only allowed to take advantage of AVR for travel to Canada and Mexico ONLY.
Mexican nationals traveling to Mexico, must have a valid U.S. visa to reenter the U.S.
If you have changed your status while in the U.S. and hold a visa for the previous status, you may still take advantage of AVR, as long as you bring the supporting documents for your new status (see the Quick Reference Table above). (Ex. Status change from F-1 to H-1B, still have an F-1, expired visa; you may still use AVR)
