    I129 Form

    It is a change of employer. You are extending the status of a nonimmigrant classification based on a free trade agreement (box 4e). You would fill in pages 1-7 (page 7 only needed if using a paid preparer) followed by pages 11-12. All other supplements can be ignored. Form I-907 for premium...

    DUI

    I never claimed OP wouldn't have to go to secondary inspection. A few hours in secondary inspection is a minor inconvenience when the alternative is months of unemployment. The fact of the matter is that there is no entirely safe course of action for our OP. OP will be unemployed in a week...

    DUI

    Any criminal charge including a DUI is serious. And of course, you should count yourself fortunate that you didn't hurt or kill anyone while driving under the influence, if indeed that is the case. Having said that, I think others are exaggerating a bit the US immigration consequences of a...

    niw got denied. Can I appeal?

    Just noticed this post. The time limit for appealing your particular case has now expired so you need to live with whatever decision you made regarding appealing or not. But just for reference--yes, the petitioner (you) has standing to appeal if done in a timely manner. I'm not sure I see a...

    deportation or face state charges after serving federal sentence?

    How would the following situation play out? A LPR--who is a citizen of Cuba--is serving time in a federal prison which "specializes" in pre-deportation cases. That is, this federal prison does not house any US citizen prisoners but houses only non-citizens who are expected to be deported after...

    Adjustment of status from overstayed VWP

    Adding up the numbers you've been here for at least 2 years, 9 months so have overstayed by at least 2 years, 6 months--meaning you are looking at a 10 year bar should you leave. I don't believe you have any immediate path to become legal. Since you originally entered legally, in 19 years...

    Was your TN to GC process succesfully completed?

    A self sponsored EB1 GC can be awarded to a contractor.

    TN and Dual Citizen France-Canada

    I doubt the question will even come up unless your wife is a US citizen. Yes as nelson says you would go back to H4 if currently an H4. But switching back and forth legally from one nonimmigrant status to another is highly unlikely to lead to questions about immigrant intent, so I don't see...

    Does legal immigrant with misdemeanor tresspassing 602(k) make removable with trumps executive order

    It is a rapidly evolving situation but my understanding is that Trump's order isn't what makes anyone removable. It simply increases the priority of deporting some folks who were already removable. I do not believe a single misdemeanor trespassing is enough to make one removable, no.

    TN under Trump

    That's the number of admissions in that status in a given fiscal year, not the number of people in that status in the USA at any given time. Some TN holders from Canada will live close to the border and travel back to Canada every weekend--meaning they are admitted in TN status 52 times a year...

    TN interview without the actual diploma

    It may work, however, if the degree has actually been conferred which sometimes occurs before the ceremony where the diploma is presented. For example, my last degree was conferred on Jan 6, 1994 even though the big ceremony where I got the diploma didn't occur until Jun 12, 1994. The...

    Entering with TN under immigration ban

    Sonianic do you know if that was before or after DHS "clarified" their position on GC entries under the executive order?

    Entering with TN under immigration ban

    Look at the following DHS link: https://www.dhs.gov/news/2017/01/29/protecting-nation-foreign-terrorist-entry-united-states "For the next 90 days, nearly all travelers, except U.S. citizens, traveling on passports from Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Iran, Somalia, Libya, and Yemen will be temporarily...

    Entering with TN under immigration ban

    As I understand it Canadian citizenship in combination with the citizenship of one of the banned countries is sufficient to overcome the ban. See: https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2017/01/28/passport-holders-of-7-muslim-majority-countries-cant-board-air-canada-flights-to-us.html Note the...

    Recent Executive Orders by Trump

    Remember that the situation with regard to Trump's executive orders is very volatile, with clarity often lacking and changes sometimes happening when people push back via protest, legal representation, and lawsuits against the harsher possible interpretations of his orders. So it is probably a...

    TD to TN

    It would be better, though, to briefly enter the US under the TD so that it is recorded as a successful entry under TD rather than a denied entry under TN. You can turn around and go back to Canada shortly thereafter to resolve the issue. But it would be better to do so under your own terms...

    can a recently laid off TN holder receive UI while remaining in the US?

    I'm not sure if any of the responses actually answered the OP's original question, which wasn't about being admitted to the US but was about whether, if successfully admitted to the US, someone could continue to receive UI after applying in Canada. Of course Mister and nelson are correct that...

    Dwi green card hold needing to travel

    I believe the situation here is that someone who is here unlawfully and deportable for other reasons would be given higher priority for deportation due to the DUI. I do not believe that this policy will complicate things for someone who is here lawfully with only a single DUI and no aggravating...

    3 Questions Regarding N-400, Travel, & Documents

    I would probably recommend that you talk to an attorney. With one conviction (and I'm afraid these will count as convictions for immigration purposes even if expunged for state law purposes) I'd say you'd be pretty safe. With two convictions--even if one of them is a long time ago--things get...

    Traveling on AP with a pending DUI charge

    Ordinarily I wouldn't expect there to be a problem because with a single DUI--even if eventually convicted--you would still be admissible to the USA (assuming this is an ordinary misdemeanor first DUI and there isn't some more serious circumstance that would escalate to a felony). I'm not a...
