    Social Security # for TD Permit holder

    Your wife does not need a SS # as a TD. She can't work but you'll need an ITIN from the IRS so you can file jointly or whatever else she needs a tax ID# for in your state/county.

    TN for Canadians and Americans

    Well, if you say so but $1000 is a lot of cash any guarantees from your end? Will you refund the $300 if a person has not had success? By the way, you do know you are trolling on a web site set up by a professional, paid for by that professional, for the purpose of expanding their client base...

    TN for Canadians and Americans

    $1000 to market a person for a job? Are you serious? You do not even list a street address/snail mail address for contact. Do you have notarized testimonials potential clients can view before deciding to spend $1000? Cost me 2 days worth of emails and about $5 in US postage to get my 1st TN job....

    TN status & accepting new employment

    Yes they can do a 2nd TN by mail for a different employer since you're in the US in a valid status but..... You cannot start the 2nd job until you get the 2nd TN so the question becomes.... "How soon do you need the 2nd TN?" You could add $1000 for Premuim Processing the 2nd TN but you're...

    Port Shopping

    I've been through Sumas more than a few times and had to go inside twice to get an I-94 'cause I had just the I-797 page. Sumas officers can be very BITCHY even on a good day. Would not at all suprise me if they warned everyone they deny a TN about port shopping. Would love to know why you...

    Passport date, when should I renew?

    Unless the rules changed (again) you can't board a flight bound for anywhere outside the US without a valid Passport so you need to mail in an application pronto or else fly up well before 10/05 and do the application in person.

    TN to GC- can you do it without getting the employer involved?

    Hi; 1. Your choices aside from employer sponsored GC application are either marriage to a US Citizen or sponsorship by a US Citizen relative. Marriage is FAR quicker than sponsorship via a relative in most cases. 2. Depends on where you file and when you file but it will take longer than 1...

    TN visa denied twice the same POE

    True, a true denial you get fingerprinted, photographed and then led back to Canada. If you are told you may withdraw the TN application or you do withdraw it before the officer offers you the opportunity then they just escort you back to "the line" wherever that may be at that particular POE...
