I am currnetly on TN but yesterday the economy caught up to me and I was informed that I will be included in the next round of layoffs at the end of the week. I have completed my I-539 and read the Form M-752, Helpful Filing Tips for Form I-539; however, the I-539 General Instructions state...

Superjk’s experience is most concerning, so I looked at my copy of the I-797 Approval that my employer received, and this is what is stated on the front: “The above petition and extension of stay have been approved. The status of the named foreign worker(s) in this classification is valid as...

You can find the IRS Tax number on your W2 presuming that you already work for the the sponsoring employer, and if not, then just ask them. After all, they are the ones responsible for the I-129.

My I-129/I-907 were received Dec. 30th, approved Jan. 2nd. Cost of Premium processing was $1000. Cost of the I-129 processing was $320. Someone else will have to respond to your second question. Here is a link that may answer more of your questions...

There are also many recent posts on filing the I-129, that are well worth a review. You have plenty of time to file. I couriered my application overnight and received my receipt notice in 4 days, and I am on the exact opposite side of the country from the VSC. Al

It has been reported on this board that people have applied for their TN then, upon approval, spent a few hours in the U.S. before returning to give their notice to their current employer and preparing for the move.

Any Class A Port of Entry can issue a TN status. http://cbp.gov/linkhandler/cgov/travel/pleasure_boats/8cfr_port_list.ctt/8cfr_port_list.doc http://cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/ports/

I recall that my first TN was obtained at a POE on a Saturday, in the afternoon, so it is possible. You may want to call ahead and inquire. Al

Malemay; I think you were fortunate to get your TN because most who have tried with more than 2-3 weeks left on their current TN, have been met with rejection. Your response it the CPB's questions were very reasonable, and you lucked out with a reasonable CPB Officer. He could have just as...

I just posted this information very recently. Look at this post. http://forums.immigration.com/showpost.php?p=1999053&postcount=9 5 is irrelevant and never required. 7 is unclear. Are you sending your Degree and Transcripts or just your transcripts? The Degree is what’s required...

Echo; What I meant was, that the I-129 and the I-907 (Request for Premium Processing) do not have to be filed together. You can file your I-129 and if you decide later that you want to speed up the process, you can file the I-907 at that time. They don't need to be filed at the same time...

POE or PFI usually won't grant a TN more than 2 weeks before the start date. As simsd mentioned, you can mail in an "Extension of Stay" up to 6 months prior to your next start date. If you want quick processing, consider Premium Processing. I did, and mine was processed in 3 days of...

You are correct and your employer is mistaken. My situation is exactly the same as yours. My current TN was granted at a POE and was a NEW TN. My employer petitioned to extend this existing TN via the I-129. In my case here was no previous petition therefore the answer to Part 4...

Congratulations Jill! My understanding is that it is illegal to hold 2 different statuses as the same time. I would have thought that they would have removed your old I-94 and replaced it with a TN stamped I-94. Did you present your F2 I-94 with your passport? If you don't mind, what...
