You will have two I-94s: your old one, and the one you get this time. Both need to remain valid.

Completely incorrect, sassastts. Not worth correcting.

Grant, that is normal procedure. However, once you renew passport, the remainder of your original request should be granted on your next crossing. Any refusal to do this is the guard being a jerk.

Your legal status is from your I-94. The approval notice does little, unless an I-94 was attached.

Month late, controlsauce, and no insight that wasn't already provided.

So, you will not have any issues in future entries. Your mistake was to port shop.

Since your original TN is still valid, you should have no problem entering. In fact you could have simply entered either time you were denied the second TN. However, be warned that what you did, which is known as port shopping, is looked upon very unfavorably by the border officers -- who...

Reread what I wrote.

Again, for a TN, a non-North American degree must be equivalenced to a US degree.

While the CBP does have access to USCIS information, I would not rely on this to get back in the country. At a minimum I would bring my receipt notice, They can then look up the status and issue your new TN. An officer might have a hard time letting you in with one day left on your TN, so some...

In future, rely on this site rather than reddit for TN issues.

Your I=94 is independent of your passport. Submit the one you were issued with the I-539.

A bit late to go a week earlier.:) Shouldn't be an issue As always, best not to have a start date on the letter, especially since there was no intention for you to start anywhere near July 1.

No. The I-94 is not associated a particular passport. If you have a paper I-94, simply put it in the new passport.

It shouldn't. Producing a satisfactory TN petition will ensure approval. They are being a tad over-picky in this case however.

Self-employment is allowed under TN, so long as you otherwise meet all criteria and your client sponsors you. It is self-sponsorship that is not allowed, So your client would write the TN letter, and outline the work and financial arrangements.

This happens all the time and is not a problem. I wouldn't bother going to the border just to get the TN; I would simply wait until you return from your scheduled trip. Assuming it is not yet approved, When you do arrive at the border, have proof of your current TN (even if expired) t in...

Yes, you can enter on EITHER your existing TN (you should have your I-94 from that approval or a more recent one), OR you can ask them to look up your renewal petition in their system (have the petition number ready), and have them process a new I-94 for you right there, with the new extended...

Approaching the CBP counter as a "family" (which otherwise unrelated person do not), could raise a flag. One of the "eligibity criteria" that the officer will be "focused on "will be intent to immigrate. So, since you are not a married couple, simply avoid the suspicion by each going to an...

The border officer *could* question your relationship (with regards to you marrying your "USA companion") , but since you aren't married, you won't be going up to the officer together in any event (or at least, you shouldn't), so I doubt they would make any connection between the two of you.
