In addition to the comments made by nelsona with which I agree, an attorney many years ago explained it to me as follows (albeit he was talking about H-1B but the comments apply to TN): the position can be permanent but you are filling it (on TN or whatever) on a temporary basis. The position...

Congratulations! This is great to hear!

I don't know if the original poster has travelled to Canada yet--it is just barely past the 10 day mark--but I would be more cautious than newacct seems to be regarding doing this. One is supposed to both exit and enter the US--as a US citizen--with a US passport. Although there are usually...

It is certainly theoretically possible to pursue GC via a part time job. I will defer to your attorney as to whether it is viable given your particular job and circumstances.

H-1B is portable to a new employer without having to reach any particular point in the GC process. For the GC process itself to be portable you need to have reached a certain stage in that process. It is true these are not really TN questions.

If you have the documents then just go ahead and send them. I would NOT confuse the issue by adding letters of explanation or recommendations. What USCIS is looking for is documentation that this old case was properly disposed of--that it was resolved and there aren't any old arrest warrants...

I confess that I'm quite confused as to what the issue is. In your original post you say that you have the original court dismissal letter. That's what they want to see in response to their request for evidence. There is no need for a long winded letter to USCIS--just send them the original...

Do you have a reference supporting your point of view, nelson? Here is one that appears to support my point of view: http://www.trucknews.com/features/law-and-the-border-returning-the-i-94-card-when-you-should-and-shouldn-t/ This blog article expresses the concern that if you hang on to an...

I find it very difficult to believe that that was the original intent with I-94's which were first introduced a long time before 9/11 and in a much lower tech era. In that era it was very much catch-as-catch-can as to whether two different I-94's for the same person would actually be matched up...

Yes assuming his absence is brief and you are confident his new TN will be approved you can remain in the US while he makes the quick trip to the border. Your TD will then be valid until his own new expiration date or your existing expiration date, whichever is earlier.

And if you stay for decades and acquire 10-20 "souvenirs" (as some do) but then eventually DO leave for good (as some do) what do you turn in? Only the last one or all 20 at once? I do agree with you that this situation isn't really urgent. I've never heard of people coming to serious harm...

Albeit my experience was a number of years ago but my experience has been that if USCIS sees two I-94's in the passport they will ask if both are really still valid and--if not--take the old one upon re-entry anyways. At the same time it would be fair to say that they didn't really give me...

If the first TN I-94 was electronic rather than paper you don't really need to do anything. If it was a paper I-94 but the new I-94 was issued as part of an extension of stay on Form I-797 with the same I-94 number you should hang on to both. If you have two TN I-94's, both issued in paper...

L1A==maximum 7 years L1B==maximum 5 years But, yes, it is going to be kind of tough to complete the process in even 7 years if the country of chargeability is India. I wouldn't read too much into retrogressed dates late in the fiscal year (as we are right now) because they may just retrogress...

In the 'chen fan' thread it sounded like the employer and/or their lawyer did indeed 'insist': http://forums.immigration.com/threads/tn-trouble.332283/

The USCIS petition by mail is fully the petition of the employer. However with a petition at the border, the employer only provides a letter supporting the petition but the actual petition is that of the employee--albeit the employer letter is a mandatory part of the package. The employer has...

While I agree with the specific advice that nelsona offers--and I agree that nelsona is THE resident expert on here when it comes to TN matters--I am not sure that I agree that this TN forum is inappropriate for the original poster's questions. konax is close enough to Canadian citizenship--and...

It is a bit unclear what the question is. Is your concern that you don't want to part with the original court document that is in your possession? It seems like you already have the document in your possession to satisfy their concerns; it is just that the IO seemingly forgot to ask for it at...

As the instructions state, the green card is fine for the biometrics. But they might request proof of address at the interview. It is a bit unusual for someone to have lived in the US for five or more years and have neither a driver's license or state ID.

Given that he took a formal gap I would tend to list his time in school in two different line items: from Jan 2016 to present and then earlier from Aug 2013 to May 2015 (or whatever the exact dates were).
