    TN -> GC if born in India/China?

    I have been on TN for about five years now. I am looking to get a EB2 green card. My employer recommends doing H1B, but I understand from this site that TN -> GC is possible.

    Limits on TN renewal

    Are there any stats or at least anecdotal evidence on how many times (or equivalently years) a TN visa be renewed for? I'm on my third TN visa now, covering nearly 5 years.

    Does your plane ticket to the US have to be to the city where you're working?

    So currently live in city X, USA, with current job, but will be working in city Y, USA, for next job. I'd ideally like to fly back to city X just to move my stuff to city Y; i.e. move my stuff after re-entering rather than before. Is this doable or do border officials expect the destination on...

    Questionable work history - grounds for rejecting TN visa at border stop?

    Actually not that questionable. I am considering: 1. Quitting a job after 1 year there; but I had informally promised 2 2. Rescinding an accepted job offer (for a job that doesn't start for 3 months) and taking another offer Is there any chance that (a) these things would be grounds for...
