How exactly do you renew your Cdn passport in the US?

I don't see why not... although it may be a little pointless to bring the entire family there for that one purpose

Nelson's right. They have no right to refuse your entry based on job market reasons. Just prepare the right paperwork, remember TN is a non-immigrant status so that you'll tell them you would eventually go back to Canada, and you are all set. They worst thing is you return to your starting...

Hi Nelsona, Do you know if TNers should file 1040NR or they have the choice of filing 1040, just like the H-1 holders?

I think your employer putted you in a very tough situation - medical leave. or perhaps you asked for it? Almost any employer doesn't want to to hire anyone who had bad medical history - what do you think America is so desparate for health care reform? If you used medical reason as an excuse to...

I think godppo is thoughtful, you have to think if you can easily switch back and forth between the 2 status. The economy is still bad now, and won't be fully recovered in another 6 month or so at least. Unless you are about to graduate, otherwise there is no extreme hurry. If you study...

To Superjk Yes, Peace Arch it is. I found out that the CBP officers' quality varies. Not all of them know how everything work and not all of them think clearly. That differentiates the soldiers from the officers. But you have to think clearly, even if they don't.

I did hear some CBP officers requested proof of ties with the motherland from TN candidates, and I was actually requested once, but the guy did not asked me to show him all the evidences though after I told him I still own a condo in Vancouver, and I am still paying my Medicare in there... To...

I think if you renewed your TN before your H-1B became effective, then you should be on H-1B status now. I was in a similar situation except my H-1B approval did not have I-94 attached to it. I exited last wk to activate it. Thanks Nelson for precious suggestions. One more thing, don't get...

Yes you can do that. Just make sure you pull out of I-5 before cross the border. You can park your car at the parking lot of duty-free store and walk cross the border, cross I-5 via the sky walk and return to the US after you crossed the highway. You'll see a 2-story white building with the...

Another question: I still have the old I-94 before my most recent TN-extension (since I haven't left the US after my TN extension). TO who should I surrender it to - the Canadian officials or to the US on my way back to the US? Will if be very confusing to the CBPs if I presnt the old...

I am currently on a 3-yr TN, and I decided to change it to an H1-B next week at a POE. Therefore, I would like to know if I can do it at a Canadian airport on my way back to the US, or I will have to do it at the border. What document(s) do I have to carry with me? Also, suppose I returned...

That was fast, it took me almost 2 months to get it. I guess they are really over-staffed.

Thanks to Nelson's advise, I received my TN (actually, it was my employer who received it) extension on 08/21. I also checked my H1-B approval again and it says either the consular office or POE. So, I guess I do not need an appointment.

As long as you have the necessary paperwork and the right attitude. It should be OK. The other posts just remind me of the movie "Firefox". A KGB agent like to say "your papers are not in order" when he felt there was something fishy, even though the papers were in perfect order! Perhaps...

Thanks Nelson... just got a little anxious as the date approaches.

I don't know about other states, but I heard that you'll need GC if you want to becoming a realtor in CA- verify it yourself before you pay the tuition.

For all of you who really want to know the official document of 240 day rule: 8 C.F.R. PART 274A.12(b)(20) Since I cannot post the url, for those of you who want to see it, look for "8CFR" on USCIS's website and move it down item by item. However, I am quite confused by the word "timely"...

If you own the vehicle, then it is OK for you to cross the border. If it's a rental... I think the reason is probably because in case you were denied of re-entering the US, the rental company will have to send someone cross the border and bring the car back. I had a Cdn car registered in the...

I doubt... this economy... There was no H-1B issue after the last economy slump until 2007. But this yr is certainly a good year if your company is willing to spend the money for you...
