If you have an I-94 that expires later than your passport, that sounds like an error on the part of the Border Officer. Every I-94 i've ever received has been limited to the expiry of the passport. If you look up your I-94 online at the CBP i-94 website, you'll see the serial number on the...

If you can apply for a green card "by yourself" when you're on an H1B, then I don't see the value in switching to a TN status. A TN work permit would not give you any additional options to apply for a green card which you would not have otherwise.

Albeit, I was attempting to call Mesa Otay POE. San Ysidro might be different.

I tried several numbers. Some are out of service, some ring endlessly, none of them lead to a human.. Finally I gave up and travelled to the POE in person.

Fantastic advice.

Yes they are processing. No you do not need an appointment, in fact I don't think an appointment would even be possible. Yes, you can apply any day, any time, as long as the crossing is open. San Ysidro is normally 24/7. Typically you want to walk into Mexico, turn right, and then walk back...

Consider if: - A Canadian has a 3-year TN permit to work for a US employer - The employer lays off the employee after 1 year of work - The employer offers to re-hire the employee for the same position after 1 year of furlough (2 years since TN issued) Is the original permit still valid for the...

Filing the I-129 is the request to extend your TN status. All of the TN documentation goes with the I-129. If your I-94 expires while the I-129 is being processed, you can continue to legally work for the same employer for up to an additional 6 months, or until the I-129 is denied, whichever...

Tijuana. Speculating on the "why" doesn't really matter to me. Even professionals make mistakes or do something new for the first time. I'm just curious for the best way to applicants the confidence & knowledge to explain, if necessary, to POE officers how they can grant additional employer...

I agree that trying to get classified as a CSA sounds less risky. If you are not really managing people, then you have nothing to worry about, even if the word is in the title. You just have to explain (honestly) that you are managing a process or an endeavor. Most immigration lawyers seem to...

Congratulations. Enjoy the home. I recently sold my USA house and am also quite happy :D

I recently crossed from Tijuana with a TN application. Check the POE schedules. The hours have changed thanks to covid. Work is considered an essential purpose. Others have reported no problem making their TN applications.

I am Canadian. I have had my current I-94 for approximately 1 year (out of 3 granted) on TN Status. I recently entered a POE to apply for TN status for a 2nd employer. It took quite a while to make it happen. The officers seemed very reluctant. They claimed the system "would not let...

good, you need that for a TN. I have heard that it's possible to have a foreign degree evaluated as having a Canada/USA equivalency. I don't have info about that. But if I were to use such a service, I would pick a service based in the USA & make sure they're experience doing evaluations for...

anithamerugu, if you are living in Canada, and working in Canada, then don't bother applying for a TN. A TN lets you live & work in the USA. if you don't want to live in or work in the USA, then the TN has no value for you. If your situation changes, you can apply for a TN at that time.

Probably only taxes / pay withholding. Speak to an accountant familiar with Canada/USA filing issues. You may be able to stop paying USA-related deductions. (SSN, etc.). Your I-94 should remain valid even when you move out of the USA, meaning you can cross the border relatively freely.

Most people on these forums will not help cook up a form letter, because a) CBP officers will spot and reject a form letter floating around, making it very quickly worthless b) those officers will then be rightly annoyed at the shenanigans and scrutinize the rest of us more harshly so our...

Never once has a border officer asked me about owning a house, and I don't think it's information they'd even know unless they were specifically looking for it outside their normal INS records. They don't, BUT, some lenders will simply refuse to lend to non-citizens, and also recent newcomers...

Those links don't exist. My understanding is that CSA category will only be approved with a computer or IT related degree or diploma. It's up to the discretion of the officer reviewing the application though.

In my experience: ignorant employers' lawyers are the ones who are discouraging sponsorship letters, not the other way around. Only when the employer tells their lawyer "this must happen, we're paying you to solve problems not be problems" do those lawyers suddenly discover the ability to write...
