Either way, make sure that you renew your TN before I-485 if you have less than 6 months left on current TN. This gives you time to get EAD to continue working. read over the thread at the top of this forum.

First off, self-petitioned I-140 is rare, so don't wait for any first-hand experience. Your I-140 is no different than any others, so you follow the same steps as any other TNer with an approved I-140: you ensure that you file I-485 Or switch to consular processing with at least 6 months left...

So, whether you would be successful at the border after a USCIS denial, would of course depend on the reason for the denial, and your ability to fix/address that reason. But, other than that there is nothing that would prevent you from a border petition. If you are denied at the border (after...

No. You would need a letter from your supervisor, coworker, clients, etc for the 1.5 more years, which would describe your job. If you have an offer and don't yet have these letters, I would try with your degrees.

You would be safest to get experience letters for 3 year worth of work, but your degrees should be sufficient.

Cdns get status, not visas.

No problem. Have them check the status of your H1-B application at the airport, they will grant you H1B/H4 statuses at that time. If not yet approved, you will enter on your existing TN/TDs. I'm assuming you are all Canadian. Otherwise visas will need to be obtained for non-Cdns.

1. Yes. 2. TN is not available for teacher. Most school boards will not spend any money going thru the sponsorship of a foreign teacher. Be aware that working as a teacher in the US is nowhere near as nice as working in Canada, neither for the conditions nor the remuneration.

As long as you are a member of an actuarial society, and have a degree, you can qualify for an actuarial job. The job description should be accurate for the job you are being hired for, not tailored to the DOL definition.

Yes, assuming you have a degree in Civil Engineering.
