agree on that. asking explicitly at POE is the best/easiest

for the benefit of all, in the event of a possible error, one can contact the deferred inspection site here. I visited one and explained my situation. The CBP official was courteous, understood that an error might have been made, went back and corrected the admission status to TD for the entire...

Hi Nelsona...sending an offline message

You are right...there is no reason why they shouldnt have been granted a TD when entering. They entered via a land POE (I wasnt there) and we assumed the official would have given TD status. Just yesterday we found out that they actually got admitted in B2. Trying to figure out the best possible...

Saw a few threads on this but just want to reconfirm my understanding. Situation: Dependents (all Cad citizens) in the US currently on B2. Two options to convert their status from B2 to TD: 1) Go back to Canada and when re-entering the US, specifically request the officer to grant TD OR 2)...

+1. we are in sync

My friend who got his TN in early March was in the same situation as you. Had a bachelors degree that satisfied the requirement for TN...was doing Masters in parallel (scheduled to graduate in April). Went to the border to get his TN one month ahead of the job start date and had no issue...

Missed to respond to this: "if my support letter says the contract duration is 3 years, will I get the maximum 3-year TN?" ... yes you will get the 3-yr max TN

here are some of the responses (Nelsona can add/modify) 1) Yes. 3-years is the max. Mind you, the 3-yr TN is given from the day you actually show up at the border NOT the 3-yr period stated on your TN letter 2) One of the CBP officials told me that you could show up as early as you want (even 6...

Situation: Currently working with employer-A on TN (1-yr still left to renewal). Employer-A petitioned for H1b and got selected in lottery. A much better opportunity with Employer-B has come up (tentative start date Employer-B wants is in June by which time H1b would likely be approved for...

agree on this point. Best case scenario would have been to renew TN in March itself through PP preferrably (I think they let you renew by mail up to 6 months ahead of TN's actual expiration if i am not mistaken) and the H1b process could go on in parallel separately. Assuming selection in...

Hi Nelsona -- I guess you are saying that they should have applied for TN renewal to uscis right now (instead of going to the border) and filed COS for H1 which would become active automatically on oct-1 without the need to go to the border.

one more Q...what happens to the Canadian license when i get the US one? They didnt ask me to surrender the Cad license. I guess I should just let it be and let the Cad one expire on its own?

got the license. thanks for your guidance Nelsona

this pinned post is from ~6 years ago. Wondering if we should do another poll if folks are interested?

Thanks Nelson. The I-94 question just for my information purposes. Appreciate the clarification

Btw, is this current entry requirement only applicable to TN-ers or other visa types as well (including H1b)? Secondly, once someone goes through TN to GC process (and hopefully get it), what happens with the I-94s? just remove from the passport and return OR only remove/save with no need to return

Thank you Nelson... Will definitely try to provide lots more info when I ask future questions. Appreciate your help and guidance

thanks Nelson. Let me explain a bit more. We had two cars in my household (one for me and one for my spouse). My family has still not relocated to the US and are using the other vehicle. The one that I am currently using, I plan to take back to Canada in June and gift to one of my relatives and...

Folks Got a job and moved to US on TN three months back. Family is still in the process of moving. I have a Canadian drivers license currently. Given that I am on TN, is it absolutely mandatory to switch to a US drivers license? Secondly, I was under the impression that the car insurance is...
