Maybe, maybe not, we know he was not forthcoming when he entered as a tourist. If your primary goal is for USCIS to think your husband has been honest, then when he applies for his TN, he should truthfully volunteer that his primary purpose is to live in the USA for a year before you sponsor...

Go to the closest POE

Just a heads up: 5 months ago my TN-1 employment ended, so I submitted a I-539 to change my status to tourist. Recently I received a RFE asking for proof of my travel & tourism activities since that time. (In addition to the usual foreign ties, proof of money to support myself). If anyone...

A lawyer won't help him get a better letter from a reluctant employer though. Unless you are saying this HR department is dismissing this poster's advice is unqualified and will suddenly show respect to a stranger with J.D. after his/her name.

#1 is "probably". Having a spouse living in the USA creates a presumption of immigrant intent. #2 is you definitely can apply for an adjustment, just make sure to wait long enough so there's no presumption of fraud on your husband's TN entry. I have heard after 90 days there's no...

Based on the tone of your bullet points, i think you're taking the experience personally. And it won't help your cause. You're not at the border trying to prove how great your alma matter is, or to evade questions which aren't legally relevant. - Can an american do your job? Probably. But...

My understanding is that POEs are only closed to tourism visits. Canadians & Mexicans entering for work are permitted. I believe that POEs will process TN applications as they always have. Actually getting a job offer certainly will be harder, but if someone gives up job hunting just because...

I heard the 12-month anecdotes in late 2018. If you got 3 years, congratulations. Either what I heard was irregular, or, port policy changed again sometime in 2019.

I'm going to speculate that some border officers are treating "Software Engineer" as a sham title for "Software Developer", the way one might treat "Waste Disposal Engineer" as a sham title for "Garbageman" (rightly or wrongly). However if one were to attempt entry as a "Software Engineer"...

Why not? This seems like a risky idea. You could get away with it if border officers never discover the true date your employment ends, in fact it's unlikely unless you somehow arouse suspicion, but 'what if'?

Border is closed for tourism but employment is still deemed essential. Stay positive!

No. If your I-94 is a TN admission then you're permitted to start working.

In technology there is still lots of hiring going on. Could be the same in other industries. Anything where remote work is accepted, go ahead and keep looking. Or even go through the interview process so you're ready to apply when borders re-open.

San Ysidro has limited I-94s to 12 months in the past, regardless of the merits of the application. I don't know if Otay Mesa would be different, because I believe they have the same Port Director.

Resume is not needed unless you're required to prove related professional experience. Most TN visas can be requested for up to 3 years, although some are limited to shorter periods. e.g. Consultant

Several people have mentioned: TN categories don't allow for coding / software development. By now the the border officers know that's exactly what you plan to do, no matter how you dress it up.

Canprof I doubt it. Get the job offer first and then deal with the "sponsorship".

Sounds difficult. "Engineering" is often understood to mean physical engineering, not computer programming. Best of luck.

In 2018 I received a 1-year permit on a 3-year application. Explanation: "We want you to come back every year to make sure you're still working for the company." It makes no sense and seems contrary to DHS policy, but at the time no one wants to argue with the officer who's deciding their...

What job category are you attempting to get a TN permit for? For most categories, work experience is irrelevant. All that matters is you have a bachelor's degree in a related field. If your bachelor's degree is in BioTech, then it's very doubtful you would be granted a TN in the Computer...
