hi all, I am a TN1 visa holder ( canadian working in USA) which is valid till 28th Apr 08.
There is some situation that came up ,while I am in Fiji on vacation till 31st Aug at the moment. Before taking off from the LA airport, I dropped off the ORIGINAL I-9 document (Attached to canadian passport indicating my valid TN1 status). It is something unfortunate mistake, that the stappled document got dropped off somewhere while the Air ticket counter staff were checking my passport at some point of time. And, I could notice this only when I was inside the Plane.
I tried to contact US embassy over here several times, but I was hardly able to get any answers. And, they only advised me to go through the website of "department of homeland Security" Or CBP ( customs Border protection) to check about what am i supposed to do now.
Now I am worried , whether I will face problems while re-entering into USA after a few days. Hopefully, the photocopy of I-9 form ( that I have got with me) should be fine, because I still have the Stamping of TN validity on my Canadian Passport. I am trying to get some help from any places as possible. I will also try to call the Customs Department in US. But, it is not very easyy to call international calls from here, and I am at least be able to use the internet with mediocre speed in Fiji at moment.
Whether any of you would know, what am I supposed to do now when I will enter into LA ( my port of entry in USA) on 31st Aug ( without having an Orginal I-9 form with me)??
Luckily I have got Photocopies of my TN1 letter from my company. But, I dont have the Credential Evaluation letter copy for my Engg. Degree certificate. I am trying to show them maximum proof of my Valid TN status in US, when I would land at Port of Entry in LA airport.
Please let me know, if someone knows whether I-9 form photocopy may be enough for me Or how do I obtain the new Orginal I-9 document while being in Fiji?? Meanwhile, i am trying to go through and contact the right department in US ( though i am very far from USA and so, am not able to get much help from here at moment). Which department in USA can be able to answer me this question, if I want to call them from here?? Can anyone give me the phone number Or email id of the right department?
Waiting for your answers...thanks a lot in advance!!
