FAQ: TN work for multiple employers
Hello Rajiv Sir.
First and foremost, thank you for this most helpful service of immigration forum with Q&A sessions.
I am a Canadian working in Texas on TN Status for Employer 1. (TN valid till Mar 2019)
I have an offer to work for a second employer (part time less than 20 hours , evenings and weekends). this is in addition to Employer 1.
So, I plan to fly to Border and apply for second TN for part time work from second employer, for the same job profile and designation.
Offer letter from Employer 2, does state part time work for less than 20 hours per week. And I intend to keep working for Employer 1.
Questions:
1) Apart from the regular TN papers, should I carry anything additional for the second TN.
2) Is it necessary to show residential ties (own or leased home in Canada) for the TN? I do not own or lease a home in Canada as I am living in Texas.
3) Should I expect any additional documents to support 2 TN need?
4) If I am given the second TN, will I be given a new I94 number, which I can look up online?
5) I do not have educational evaluation for a master degree obtained in India. This evaluation was done as part of Employer 1 TN, which was retained by border person when I got my first TN.
So, do I need to get evaluation done again, or my first active TN is proof that my credentials are verified?
6) In future, if I lose the job from Employer 1 (full time TN), can I continue to work for Employer 2 (part time TN) and stay in US based on the part time TN status.
7) I can manage to work on 2 jobs, because I work remotely from my home in Texas on cloud computers.
So, in future if Employer 2 wants to give me work for 40 hours per week or if another employer gives me work for full time, am I allowed to take up 2 full time TN jobs ?
Will I be able to get a TN status for second full time TN job, without cancelling the first one.
8) for the above second TN (part time or full time), is it possible to do it over mail using I129 without going to border. Or will I129 cancel my first TN?
Thanks in advance,
Krishna Rao
