Bill, thank you for the insight. I am curious, what defines a TN holder as a Resident of the US or Canada? In my case, I spend 5 days of the week in US and the weekends in Canada.

If one is working in the US and has an address , does that not prove residency in the US for the Canadian authorites? Is there any law that says one cannot drive a US licenced vehicle in Canada for longer than a certain period of time? I know a plenty of Canadian citizens living in the US under...

hi there, I work in the US under a TN visa and live in Canada. Given the huge differences in luxury car prices between Canada and US, I am contemplating on buying a car for my wife (she lives and works in Canada) in the US, and then driving it to Canada. Can someone tell me what type of issues...

Another option is I guess to find a recruiter who can 'sponser' you- which means you have to send all your project through his company. At some point, you can work with him on making the steps to move to GC. This however will certainly not be the most cost effective way as you have to work...

Hi, I am an Canadian independent contractor who has been working in the US for the last few years (for different employers) under different TNs. Instead of having to go to the border each time for a TN, is there any ways for an Independent contractor to get a H1B visa or any other type of...

Hi, I am a Canadian citizen wishing to invest in a commercial property in the US. I am wondering if by doing this, one can get his GC eventually and how long does it generally take? Also, my current plan is to have a US management company take care of the property for me. Currently I work...

Isn't there a difference between getting denied vs the officer letting you withdraw your application? My understanding is if you withdraw your application, it is technically not considered a "denial"??

Hi, I am on a one year TN. I wish to understand how the TN to GC works. 1) Is this something you can do without getting the Employer involved? 2) how long does the entire process take? I imagine if it takes more than a year, the next time you go to renew your TN, it will say in the...

Take nelson's advice. This is your future you are dealing with. I do know of a LOT of people who got sent back the first time but they FIXED the issue without any help from a lawyer, and the second time they went and got their TN. But in your case, unfortunatly, your second visit wasn't...

someone may want to correct me but my understanding is that if you go through a recruiter and you are 'on bench' (meaning, you are not getting paid, the recrutier still keeps you) you can stay legally in US.

Does anyone know if I really need to include pay stubs? or is it just optional? Unfortunatly, I don't have any on hand.

Hi, I am doing an Employer Transfer of my TN status through mail (I-129). Apart from the cover letter, employer letter, fee for renewal, copy of degree, what else do i need to attach? Does one require pay stubs for TN employee transfer? Any help would be appreciated.

you can do an expediate passport renewal in Canada for around 100 bucks or so (may be a bit higher or lower i forget). You just need to show them a proof of why you need it in a such a hurry.

nelson, i work as a Management Consultant through a recruiter in NY. The recruiter is willing to extend my contract provide I pay for any legal fees and keep getting him the business (that's capitalism at it's best I suppose!) anyways, my questions for the group are: 1) Will I be better...

Hello, I need help with renewing my I-129 through mail. Can someone recommend me an attorney that can help me out with? Also please quote the fee you paid, as the ones I've looked all charge upwards of $1200- is that normal?

Hi, I need to send my I-129 (TN- Management Consultant) for renewal and wondering if I really need to hire a lawyer for this, or is this something that one can do on their own? I've seen some examples of renewal forms done for others and it doesn't look that complicated.

hello, I'll be applying for a TN under a 'management consultant' title in a few weeks. I am fully qualified for this title (per NAFTA), but from my previous experience at the border, and from hearing all the horror stories, I am getting very nervous about it... Can someone tell me which POE...

Does any one know of the immigration website that's got all the POE listed bordering Canada for TN renewals? I had this book marked but just can't find it anymore :(

Hi, I am transfering my TN from one Employer to another by mail. 1) Does anyone know if I-129 requires you to show paystubs for TN transfer like you do for H1-B? 2) I understand the waiting period for TN renewal is 2 months. If my new employer request me to start working before I get my new...
