I just found in another recent post that if they filled in a premium petition, then the response time will be within 15 business days. However, what if they didn't. I will talk to HR again to find out though.

Hi again. I was informed by HR that the law firm which the company hired to handle my TN has submitted the TN petition to USCIS. Although I have told my manager that I can present the documents at the port by myself, I have no idea why the law firm chose such a costly way. I am now wondering how...

Hi nelsona, thank you for further clarifying. So it will be okay that I tell them I am here to apply for TN and will be back to Canada tonight, if I come to the border one week earlier from June 1. Which one will give me hard or easy time to get TN, Lewiston–Queenston? Peace Bridge? or Rainbow...

Hi wretle42, thank you. If the TN starts from the day when I show up at the border and apply for it, then does it matter if the support letter has a contract ending date more than 3 years from the application date.

Hi nelsona, thanks for reply. Is there anything else I need to polish besides that statement of employment duration. Should I ask the company to put such wording in the job offer as well? Currently the job offer does not say anything about the contract period, just a regular job offer.

Hi there, I am pretty new to TN, so am a little bit confused about contract duration in TN requirement. I know in order to qualify for TN, I should not be employed permanently. However, I got a job in the US with permanent status (although at will for sure). I have exact job title, duties, and...

Hi nelsona, thanks for reply. sorry I did not address my question clearly..I have both bachelor's and master's in economics, and am applying for the economist category. I do have my bachelors and masters transcripts in English, it is just my bachelor degree was issued by an institute from Asia...

Hi, I am a naturalized Canadian and got my bachelor's degree outside of North America. I have my master's degree from a Canadian institute. I am preparing the documents for TN now, and was wondering can I just show the CBP officer the original diploma of my master's degree along with the...
