    TN to GC

    It is doubtful that you would be able to get I-140+I-485 applied+ get EAD by August, so you will have to renew your TN, regardless if you expedite I-140. But if your firm wants to pay that fee, why not? Just keep in mind that you may run in to the timing issue I described earlier, which may...

    TN to GC

    The only timing issue would be before filing I-485, you would want plenty (6-9 months ) of validity left on your TN. in order to get your EAD before your TN expires.

    TN -> H1b draw coming up, I140 will probably be filed this summer; Travel plan advice

    It doesn't matter if they know or not. Applying for H1-B has absolutely no effect on TN eligibility -- it is not an sign of immigrating. You can switch to H1-B (if approved) the day after you enter on TN if you wanted to, they are both non-immigrant statuses. Don't waste anyone's time even...

    TN -> H1b draw coming up, I140 will probably be filed this summer; Travel plan advice

    There is absolutely NO problem filing H1-B (which will only start in October at any rate). Having a TN and changing to H1-B is NEVER a flag. There is no need to wait, or restrict travel.

    TN to EB5 filing

    Please read the Curiousgeorge TN->GC link thread. It answers all questions about your TN/GC. For questions about your son's GC, ask on an AOS forum, but there is no such thing as a conditional GC when employment-based. It is only for marriage-based GC when the marriage is less than two years.

    Concurrent TN i-129 (part-time) application

    1. 2,2 is D; 2.4 is E 2. Your employer should put whatever hours he feels is realistic. You will not have to submit a new petition regardless of any hour changes (or wages for that matter) 3. It will not be a problem, just ensure that you have a distinct i-94 in your possession each time you get...

    Notice to Appear / Grace Period

    Correct. Nothing has changed except for the presumed removal of grace period.

    Please remember to cite your source for any copied information that you post. Your post was clearly cut-and-pasted from another website, so by sourcing the information, readers can get context if they wish. In the pre-grace period era, the guidance was to file I-539 for B-2 within 1-2 days...

    Hypothetical: I-485 denial on a TN

    Just to be clear: AOS is I-485. For CP one doesn't file an I-485. If you do file an I-485 (which hasn't been denied) or if you indicated AOS on your I-140, and then want to switch to CP, then you have to file an I-842 to redirect your case to CP.

    Make an appointment at local office, but in the meantime monitor your I-94 portal.
