Can i travel to Canada on short trip and come back to US with H1b Stamping/I94 expiring in less than a month ?
Hello,
I have a similar situation here, looking for your help.
In my case I have H1B visa stamped till Nov 18,2016 and I94 till same date. Urgently
I need to visit Canada on a short trip for personal reasons. I will return back to US in
2- 3 days which is before stamp/I94 expiration. Will this create any problems at POE
?
Also I have H1B extension in progress, Will that get effected at the time of re-entry ?
Your help is much appreciated.

If you have a still valid I-94 and proof that your H-1B extension is in process, there should not be any issues wtih you being able to reenter the US after a brief visit to Canada. Have a letter from your employer with you as well.
