Is it necessary to have a current nonimmigrant visa such as H-1B or L-1?
No. The main function of the visa — the stamp in your passport which was inserted by the U.S. Department of State — is to permit entry into the U.S. If one is in the U.S. and is maintaining one’s nonimmigrant status, the visa may be expired. However, if traveling overseas, a current visa is required for re-entry. (For an exception that applies to brief trips to Canada or Mexico, see the pertinent FAQ regarding Brief Visits to Canada or Mexico).
Canadian citizens in most nonimmigrant classifications (including TN, H-1B and H-4, L-1 and L-2) do not need a visa to enter the U.S. They are “visa exempt.”
