I am also planning to land in Canada and return using AVR. One thing that concerns me is that the US IO asked "if I was working for the same company mentioned in the expired visa". So does this mean that for AVR to become active we should be working for the same employer who is listed on the expired H1B VISA, because I have changed employers, so the employer listed on my expired VISA is different from that on my current active I-797 approval notice? Am I still eligible for AVR rule to return to the US? Any one reentered US with similar situation as I am in? Please guide, kind of tensed.
