Thanks for pointing that out. I researched & researched to the wahzooo! but could not find definitive & clear rules that define dual intent, so I prefered to err on the side of caution. The last thing I wanted is to meet a dimwit officer, who feels pissed of with these "canadian foreign...

U r welcome son...LOL! :p

I understand the "flushing money down the toilet" argument...but since I am an economist by education and profession, I prefer to look at the opportunity cost angle. Here why... 1.) is the stress of wondering if they take US$ or local currency worth it, especially when u need to be...

is the exchange rate such a big deal...when the opportunity of a GC is looking u in the eyes??? get cash, go in, pay up, get GC... i paid in cash, and got my gc stamp 2 hrs later...see? no stress here...

Ok, let's be clear, not all will qualify using this process, but if u do...jump on it I just got my GC @ Montreal using the DV process. I kept the DV out of USCIS radar by using (requesting) employer's immigration lawyers, and avoiding filing out an i-539 (or any other doc) that would put me...

Hi All, Here is my experience.... I had my appointment in Montreal, Canada on Aug 1st. We walked in, got a number and waited until number was called. We went to the window and presented the 2nd NL and were then sent to pay $1550 at the cashiers counter. Once paid, I returned alone to...

Why did u have to wait now that u r 18 yrs old??? Last year when u were 17, I could have adopted u, and filed your name along with my other 2 sons...u would have been their big brother ;)....dang!....oh well...

Ha! Ha! Ha! Actually, the offer for GC via EB came up, but I told them to wait for about 6 months...(the Hiring Manager was surprised I would want to wait) In any case, I am getting the GC in montreal in 8 days.....so u r out of luck. Had u asked me about 1 year ago, I could have...

is your wife's country of citizenship on the list of countries that require visa (this might affect the process of getting TD) I suspect she might have to wait for the PR card to be issued, since she has to pick it up personally, and if I'm not wrong, show proof of residency i.e. have an address

simsd, good point, I forgot I was a noob back in the day, and I always wondered how people got perks that I could only dream about... ;-)

I know I am assuming a lot, but with the right business/negotiation/technical skills, u can pretty much manouver your way around all these qualms. Hey, I was able to double my salary (even after being laidoff), get full relocation, and lawyer-time to draft the TN documents...just because I...

Since this is your first TN, u will most likely get your initial TN @ POE. I suggest u use a headhunter. These guys will screen suitable positions where the companies are ok with getting "foreign" workers. Also, make sure that the terms of employment allow TN, usually established during the...

LOL!!!!......:D... seriously, I have an econ degree, and my TN specific letters always bring me in as an economist...that being said, your actual title within the company may be different to reflect the internal org structure. That, my friend, is why we use lawyers...(and get the company...

The above statements are true, case in point: I am canadian citizen, my spouse is canadian resident. I am in the process of getting US GC, which my spouse will also get US GC. Even though my spouse will exceed the "maximum" days outside of Canada (by living in US) that triggers loss of the...

I just recieved the 2nd NL on Sat (6/21) and went to Canada on 6/23 for name check (took 10 mins in Ottawa) and then drove to Montreal on 6/24 for medicals, which cost me $800CDN (for vaccinations & full tests) on both myself & wifey. Now I am just waiting for the Aug 1st interview date. Mind...

it's a work visa available to Canadian citizens (TN-1) or Mexican citizens (TN-2)

I just recieved the 2nd NL, and my CP interview is scheduled in Montreal, Canada on Aug 2nd @ 8AM. I need to know how much time to request from work and the irony is that I just got a NEW TN approved two weeks ago, with my official start date of July 7th. I also need to do background check...

Khalid, Dont be disappointed. U will be fine. I have AF44XXX, and I was shocked :eek: when I saw the new bulletin. I was expecting my CN to become current in September, but I was happy to see it become current in August. I called KCC, and once I verified myself to the customer service, her...

If I were u, I would go to one of the Bridges in Buffalo. I went to Niagara Falls for my 1st TN....easy as apple pie... But when I was moving to US via Detroit, we (wifey & I) got hassled big time by a male officer...i.e. why was wifey coming to US if the stay was temporary?...we were rescued...

My mail-in TN was approved today :D. I was freaking out coz I had sent in DS230 (which uneqivocally shows dual intent) in April-2008 and did not want this "desire" to trip-up my TN request. Here's the evidence from the USCIS for all to enjoy, and A BIG SHOUT OUT TO NELSONA...who helped keep...
