Hello, I am a Canadian citizen living in Canada and working for a US company. The US company got me an H1B visa and later helped get me PERM and apply for i-140. Currently, the I-140 is in pending status. The company is not doing so well financially and there is a good chance I may be laid off...

I hope one of the experts here can help me out with my dilemma. I am a Canadian citizen currently on an H1B working for a consulting company. I live in Toronto and work in the US for 4 days of the week. Although I am considered full time employee of the company, I am on a W2 Hourly, which...

I have a company that wants to hire me as a Management Consultant to provide services to it's client (corp to corp). The company is a large ERP implementer and has clients all over the US. Since they have a lot of clients and there is plenty of MC opportunity within the company, they are...

Hello, I live in Canada and commute to US on a weekly basis to see my client. I hold a TN visa and my client pays my company in Canada. Recently, I've been thinking of investing in a rental property in the US. When buying investment properties, I understand I have two choices: Register a...

Hi, I have a 2 year contract with a US firm. The recruiter that hired me said he is willing to write me the TN letter for 2 years. Is this advisable? I am only used to getting one year and then going for extensions.

Nelson, the reason I ask is almost every single time I went to the POE, I was asked what sort of company I am working for. From what you are saying it sounds like one does not need to be working for a BIG company to represent them selves as a Mgt consultant? Also, a little off topic: Almost...

Hi , I've been working in the US for a number of years (on and off) under my TN visa. I get my salary paid to my corporation in Canada. However since I started working in the US, I've opened bank accounts, and have gained some interests from my savings (I opened them mainly to establish...

I am sorry to hear that. 1) Can you tell us which POE you went to? 2) Are you a contractor or working full time for the US company? Generally, MC is seen as a consultant's job (short term) than full time....
