Hi,
I'm staying in the US on an H1B visa and am trying to establish my ability to leave the US to go to Canada for a few days and come back.
The visa stamp in my passport has the Expiration Date and PED: July 2018. However, here's the twist - since my visa was issued, my sponsoring company had to apply for a new petition and it was approved with a shorter validity than the original one - December 5th 2017. As it is expiring soon (tomorrow to be precise), my company already applied for a new petition on my behalf and it is currently awaiting USCIS response.
My question is - can I safely leave the US past December 5th and come back in a few days?
To recap:
Visa stamp: Expiration Date, PED (Petition Expiration Date): 07/31/2018
The recent I-797 petition: Valid through December 5th 2017. Application for new petition submitted.
Recent I-94 (from last weeks travel to Canada): Admit Until Date: 07/31/2018
Re-entering the US with a valid H1B visa stamp, but expired I-797 petition

Thanks for the response. That's what I was thinking, too, however asking CBP at the border last time, they claimed I'm fine till July 2018...
