回複：用I-797上的I-94從加拿大回美

I did it in July at Toronto Airport. First, the officer also thought the one along with I-797 is not a I-94. But later, he realized that it is I-94. My suggestion is go to the link listed below and print the Federal code. Very helpful. If any problem, show them the code, though someone are not knowledgable, they are nice and will look at it. Be prepared well. Good luck!
