    Rentry to US from Europe / 1 week vacation

    You can re-enter the USA from any country. (And apply for TNs from any country at any POE, in fact). There is no problem taking a week's vacation, enjoy. Every TN I've gotten has also given me a paper I-94, up until 2021. I think it depends on the officer.

    TN Visa for Accounting

    Looks like this situation was addressed as well as any layman can. You'll have to make the case to the officer & cross your fingers he likes what you have to say.

    TN Visa refused - Program Director with the state of Indiana - Canadian Citizen

    MBA usually not relevant to a TN application. If your bachelor's degree is in accounting, then "accounting" is the job category you'd be applying for. "Program Director" seems unlikely to fall within the "accounting" job category. Would your duties primarily involve performing accounting? If...

    TN1 - Canadian Citizen - Engineer Profession with Engineering Degree

    You probably don't want to over-think this, because I doubt USCIS officers will either. If your degree (equivalency in English) has the word "Engineering" in it, then applying for the CSA category of "Engineer" seems rather obvious. The Engineer job category requires just 1 degree. There are...

    Can I sell my Canadian car registered with DMV in USA on a TN visa?

    as i understand it, the DMV only cares to see the USCIS paperwork approving its import. They leave it up to the USCIS to validate USA standards etc. The reality of the situation is you absolutely "can" collect cash in exchange for title + keys. And the buyer could register & insure the car...

    How to applying for green card while holding a TN

    TLDR; - applying for a Green Card (I-485) means you cannot re-enter the USA on your TN status nor get a new TN status. - theoretically, you can apply for a work permit aka EAD (I-765) and get it under 90 days... but the reality is that it could be 9-12 months or longer if you're unlucky - If...

    I am no longer Curious!!! I am APPPPPRRRROOOOOVEEEDD!!!!!!!

    My I-485 was approved today, so I join the ranks of ex-TN'ers. Good luck to the rest of you as you pursue your careers. Vital stats: - 9 TNs approved from 2013 - 2022 (CSA category) - Last entry into USA: October, 2021 - I-130 petition + I-485 AOS request submitted July 2022 - EAD received...

    TN Status ---> Marriage Green Card

    Don't wait until fall to get married. There's good odds you'll lose work status for several months. Let's say you marry in September. If your marriage certificate takes 2-3 months to arrive, you would be mailing your I-130/I-485 application in December. Plenty of people get their EAD in 3...

    TN Visa - New Immigrant

    I don't think the MBA is relevant to obtaining TN status is it?

    Potential error in I-129 for TN Extension of Status?

    My amateur opinion: it's no problem at all. Employer signed the petition, not you, right? So you're innocent of any misrepresentation. Enjoy your extension. There's a non-0 chance that an I-140 application would cause the officer to decide you have immigrant intent, so you probably don't...

    TN visa Engineering Category

    My understanding is that CBP will not even look at education from a non-North American institute, unless it's been evaluated by one of the companies authorized to do that. (Like getting a certified copy of a translated document). Have you done the evaluation? Once you have that evaluation...

    TN Extension via USCIS...Any one received RFE's ?

    Sorry I don't have an answer for you, but I will say your worry is a big reason I recommend people do their applications at the border. You get processed immediately by a live person. even if your application is deficient, you can leave & come back same day with things corrected.

    TN Visa renewal

    5 months before, the officers will definitely tell you to go away and come back right before old TN expires / desires start date of new TN. At San Ysidro I tried 2 weeks in advance, they told me it was too early & come back 3 days before. Other ports / other officers may tolerate up to 2...

    How many TNs can one get ?

    Sometimes TNs are approved for only 1 year. Officers have discretion. Sometimes people change jobs sooner than 3 years.
