1. TN "renewal" is not a real concept, you are simply applying for a new TN. Probably there's no reason not to use the same offer letter as you used before (with updated dates / compensation / etc.) 2. You are the one applying for the visa status, so there's no reason for you to not write the...

Yes you can apply for a change of status by filing an I-539, apparently it costs $455

If you attempt to apply for a TN at the POE, and they discover you are married to a US citizen, it seems likely they would deem you to have "immigrant intent" and deny your application. Sounds like you should arrange your affairs to apply for a GC immediately after she becomes a citizen, and...

maybe i'm wrong, but... I-129 TN application is only for changing the status of a person who is already within the USA If you are currently outside the USA, you are expected to present yourself at a USA Port of Entry and make a normal TN application. If your application is approved, you are...

When job-hunting, you absolutely should list a USA address in the vicinity of the area where you want to work. There is literally no reason not to do it, and putting an address outside the geographic area can only reduce your options.

BTW, I understand that applying for a TD is a different issue than simply re-entering the USA on a TN-1 permit. However, in my completely uneducated opinion, I still believe presenting your original support letter (assuming it's so recent you haven't received your first pay stub) would be...

Nelsona + I disagree on this necessity to carry "proof of employment" (Paystub, HR letter, whatever) when crossing into USA on a TN-1 permit. No one myself or my lawyers have ever worked with has actually had a border agent demand such proof. However, in case you are worried, you could simply...

My lawyer told me I had to file my I-539 to change to B2 status before my employment was terminated. Take it for what it's worth. You might want to a consultation on this one.

Every port has a different captain, and they have a large influence on how their officers fulfill their duties.

Having in-demand skills is certainly beneficial. But how does putting a spotlight on the impending legal-work-status challenges help someone like RodneyK? If he's not getting interviews already, the last thing he needs is to give employers ANOTHER reason to reject him before talking to him...

Sure a recruiter can help. But if you're not getting ANY response, the problem is also partly due to unattractive applications. You gotta review, fix, and constantly refine your job hunting process. As for location, get a mailing address within the area you are seeking work.

Going to school - yes. Getting a licence - maybe ? it depends on licensing requirements. Often licensing requires authorization to work as a Realtor, which you would not have from your TN Working as a realtor - Not allowed on your TN

It's disturbing to hear this trend of agents giving 1-year TNs when the applications being presented are asking for 3-year permits.

Thanks, that makes sense.

Sounds like you simply need to get & keep employment verification letters. Once you have them you can re-use them forever. I use a previous employment offer letter paired with my termination letter from the same job.

Your TN work permit is not really relevant to your tax situation. It mostly depends on your residency statuses & your relationships to your clients (contractor vs. employee). It sounds complicated enough you should simply hire a cross-border tax accountant to sort everything out for you. Most...

TN permits are never transferred. Every new employer = a new TN permit must be obtained. Your post says "different job" but doesn't say "different employer". Are you changing employers? If you want to work for a new employer immediately, then you should take your material to the border, leave +...

I have always included a recent canadian bank statement showing enough funds to support myself for a few months. No idea if that had any effect on my approvals. But you may want to open a canadian bank account for that purpose if you don't already have one.

It is a mistake to use the same materials for another application after the first one was denied. Border officers hate it. A job offer describing the job duties is a necessary part of a TN application. I don't know what kind of help you think anyone can give with that?
