Dear All,
I am a Canadian on TN. My situation is complex any advice will be greatly appreciated.
My TN expired on the 25th of November and I do have I-20 as F2 dependent. In July when I checked with my university as to what the next steps would be when my TN expires and what the process would be to transfer to F2- the person who helped me didn't give me any indication about change of status application or going back to the border to change to F2. Basically I didn't get any guidance other than "Since you will return to F-2 status after your TN, let us keep your current F-2 open."
On another note, due to high risk pregnancy I was hospitalized from mid October till November 20th and I had to deliver my child early and I was completely bed ridden and I am advised to limit activity for 6 weeks. I checked with my university immigration folks, they are advising me to apply for nunc pro tunc through an attorney. My question is can I still somehow take a risk and go to the US-Canada border despite the challenges and if I show the CBP agents the medical documents related to my 6 week long hospitalization, would that be a good idea to justify why I could not apply for TN extension or change of status to F2 on time? I am also in the process of getting an attorney to apply for nunc pro tunc.
Many thanks in advance.
