H-1B visa travel to Mexico on expired visa stamp

VisaHQ is right, the visa has to be valid.

According to Timatic, the database used by airlines:

Visa required, except for passengers with a valid visa issued by Canada, Japan, USA,
United Kingdom or a Schengen Member State for
a maximum stay of 180 days.

Although the US would let you back in if you spend less than 30 days in Mexico, Mexico will not accept an expired US visa as an exemption for a Mexican visa.

That said, if you stick to the border zone, you will not normally be checked on entering Mexico, only when re-entering the US. So, in practice, you could go to Tijuana (for example), although it’s not technically allowed.

The question you need to ask yourself, since it is the question the border-guard will be asking himself, is: “If the United Mexican States decides they need to deport you, can they bus you back to the US, or will they have to fly you to wherever you come from?”

Is the paperwork you have obviously adequate to re-enter the US? If not, you’ll need a Mexican visa.
