I am currently employed under TN visa that expires in 2019 and am a Canadian citizen. I am planning to apply for a new TN visa with a new employer. Question which I have is if my new Tn visa application is rejected, do I still retain my existing TN visa and continue to work? Can I still enter the US with my current TN visa?
Thanks and appreciate your response.
 
Unless you are personally found to be inadmissible (criminal record, immigrant intent, etc), denial of a TN petition on some technical ground (eg. poorly prepared petition) would not affect your current one. One rare exception would be if you applied for TN in a particular category (the same one you are in now) and you were not able to prove that your educational credentials permitted you to get a TN in that category. Then CBP could decide to re-examine your current TN and cancel it. Not really a concern if you have a matching degree to your TN category.

Anytime you get a 2nd (or 3rd) TN, always make sure that you do not "hand back" your original one, since you may for a time wish to work at both (give notice, finish project, moonlight, etc) which is perfectly legal.

Im an RN and i accepted a position in a different state and transitioning to a different unit. I hope they do not cancel my TN visa all together if they reject my new application.
 
Hi Nelsona, I need your advice.. just an update with my TN application. I tried applying today in YYC and the CBP denied me because I did not have my "Visa Screen"..I wasn't aware that I needed that since I'm educated in US. Any advice on what I should do next? Thanks in advance
