I think I can agree with you TRC that Computer Science and associated degrees and the software profession have become mutually exclusive items. As for the "Requested Information" comment... Every one of the cases I have personal knowledge of each person appeared requesting a TN with: Original...

Housecleaning would be looking for borderline TN cases; people who have degrees that don't match their TN classifications. People that have been in the US, multiple years, without leaving for multiple months at a time. I have a co-worker whose son was hired at Microsoft, has a 4 yr Bachelor...

Just out of curiosity what TN classification are you under? Do you have a 4 yr degree in the same discipline as the TN classification? You were asked, but I don't see an answer, at which airport did this occur? There seems to be some sort of "house cleaning" going on with DHS as far as TN's go.

I had close to the same experience you did at the Peach Arch Truck Crossing back last October. I was told "your education no longer qualifies you for your position" and denied a TN. Now I am pulled into secondary inspection every time I cross, land, sea, air it does not matter I have to build an...

I suspect no matter how great your next application is you are going to have an impossible time convincing Homeland Security your job is that of an accountant. Did your position duties/description match what the TN Accountant description says? Which border crossings did you go to? As...

Congratulations!

Let the lawyers handle the RFE FIRST if that fails then you may be able to still go to the border although the refusal is likely in the system and viewable by officers at any POE. Like I said previously, if you go to the border and get refused you're out, period. Laredo, TX is on the Mexican...

Ah, more "house cleaning" by USDHS.... At this point I would let the lawyers handle the RFE and stay away from the border. You have nothing to gain running to the border if you get denied there you have zero recourse and are separated from all your "stuff". What used to work for me was just...

Yup, without a 4 yr degree manoevuring into an H1B is more difficult until you get the additional 4 or 8 years experience to make up the 4 yr education requirement. It's difficult but by no means impossible. As for the house, if this is your first US home purchase, you should look at FHA...

Any crossing under the Seattle USCBP district jurisdiction is acting this way for at least a year probably longer. I have no idea who the new "sheriff" is for this district but they've given EVERY USCBP officer from Blaine to Nighthawk on the US side orders or guidence that apparently allows...

Just another cutesy "test question" by CBP to see if you happened to apply for some form of "aid" while in the US.....

Bad, bad, bad advice. 2civic3 read and follow what nelsona has written!

Concentrate on your personal immigration status, forget about H or L or any other visa status! If I were you I'd pony up the $300 for the I-539 for a lot of reasons the best one is that once you file it you can stay and clean up your cars, house, apt lease and pack your belongings over a couple...

With the work experience credits and course challenges I have to do it will be 18 months to 2 years if I just go to school. 3 to 3 1/2 years if I get lucky and find a full time job. I have successfully challenged 2 of 8 courses in the past 4 1/2 months I plan on writing challenges to another...

1. Taking Computer Information Systems degree at University Fraser Valley in Abbotsford BC. 2. Well, I need the degree if I were to ever consider working in the US so my stance is I'm staying in Canada. I'm all done with dealing with the under educated overbearing USCBP officers. 3. I'm...

Well, that POE is on the other side of the country from me..... I had enough grief with the jackals on the WA/BC border not really interested in re-visiting ANY POE without a 4 yr degree in my pocket

Which POE did you use?

I think you mean the Blaine Truck Crossing about 5 - 10 minutes east of Peach Arch. BC/WA border is cracking down on ANY TN's since Spring '08 I'm an earlier victim from Nov. 08. Welcome back to Canada have you applied for your State Employment Insurance yet?

Summer, Fall, Winter, Summer then hopefully, fingers crossed, I'll have the degree. I was expecting to use the "Computer Systems Analyst" (CSA) TN class which I would be eligible for with a 2 yr CIS diploma from the University. I still have to figure out if I want to go back into the US of...

1. Yes 2. Submitting with PP means USDHS has 10 BUSINESS days to process the paperwork so if you got it there, say Tuesday Jan 6th, they have until Thursday Jan 20th to adjudicate the application. I expect the would adjudicate in the first week though since they're on such a tight timeline...
