I have a question for experts and/or experienced:

With a valid I-94 can one reenter the USA from Canada? I know this was
doable previously, but heard it's changed recently. Is this true?

Thanks.

Generally, it is, if you DID NOT try to obtain a visa in a US Consulate in
Canada and where denied.
Do you still have a valid visa in your passport?

Thanks Gene for your reply.

I realized that my question was not formulated properly. Your reply
seems to mean that someone can reenter the USA with a valid I-94 if he
did not try to get a visa in Canada and denied. Is this what you mean?

This someone is not me. His US visa has expired, but I-94 is still
valid. Will he be allowed back in the USA with his I-94?

Thanks again for your answer.

Jian I contacted the US immigration at buffalo border about 2 days back regarding automatic revalidation and they said that you can enter back into US with valid I 94 and expired visa as long as you do not apply for a US visa in canada, just make sure you have all the documents possible with you. Also you should not be a citizen of one of the countries from the state department's list of states sponsoring terrorism. Good luck.
