Please help!
  I am returning to the US tomorrow, and my H1 has expired, and my renewal for it is still pending. Will I be allowed to enter the US as a visitor while my H1B is still pending (I realize I will have to return to Canada to have the new Visa validated once it is approved). I am really concerned that I will not be allowed in as a visitor.
Much Thanks for Responses!
Answer:
it is confusing to me what exactly ur status is.
It appears u are a canadian citizen, and ur H1 is expired and you wish to enter on visitor status(B1/B2) but you cannot do that and be able to work as well. if u enter as a visitor you cannot accept employment.
Post more details to get a better response.

my H1B expired on August 3rd. I need to return to the US as my apartment is there...I live there ect. I applied for renewal 5 months ago, and it is still pending. I just want to know if I will be admitted to the US as a visitor until my renewal is approved. I know I can't work until the renewal is approved, and I will need to return to Canada to have it validated. I just want to get into the US. I fly into NY and go through customs there, and I am concerned that they will send me back to Canada. Is this making sense?
Answer:
On what visa are you flying into US? Have you already got your passport stamped with the B1/B2 Visa? If yes, then you may not have any problem.IF no, then I dont see how you can enter US.
