Hi there, I am a Canadian Citizen and currently on OPT ('ll expire in August 09). My employer gave me a full time offer (as per TN visa requirements). Couple of questions.

a. What is the best POE to get status changed (from OPT to TN)?
b. Can I request for 3 year visa (the period given in the employment letter is for 3 years)?
c. For any reason if TN is denied, can I re-enter US on OPT as it is still valid until August.

Thanks a lot.
 
a. All poes are the same. Your docs are the ket, not the POE.
b. Yes.
c. Yes, until august, unless they find YOU are inadmissable for other reasons than a poor TN application.
 
Thanks bunches.

My spouse is also a Canadian working in US with valid H1. Does her status have any impact on my application for TN? again, thanks for the quick response.
 
one final follow-up. Does TN requires maintaining foreign residency? I have been in US for past 3 years now (F1 and OPT) and my spouse about same time with H1. We really have been living out of Canada for the past 3 years.. Assuming that my application is as per the requirements, is there a possibility deniel because of my residency in US?

No. You are fine.
