Agree ... change of status can/will happen automatically while in the US (if the employer filed it that way). From my personal experience, I went from TN to H1 (through COS) on Oct-1 and when I left/re-entered the US again through a Canadian land POE in November of the same year, they gave me a...

There's no visa stamping for Canadian citizens. Next time you enter the US, just request to be admitted in h1 and show them your h1 pkg

I have to agree here with nelsona. Whenever there are changes in life, there is a transition to be expected. When I got my TN, I worked on my own without family for 3 months (15 hrs away)and then family moved and it took me a year to sell house and take care of my Canadian affairs. However, I am...

As I mentioned "if" the officer asks, then truthfully tell the officer that since California is far, you will be returning to Canada for a few days to take care of the logistics and fly out with the family. He/she could choose to ask you to get the TN from the airport later OR just go ahead...

Nope not at all. I got my TN authorization from a POE that was 15 hrs from my work place

if its financially viable for your family, of course you can carry on to your job (I am assuming that what you meant) by " It would probably be best if we proceed to US on the day of approval. "

+1 to nelsona's comment! Always be truthful if asked...but dont just say: "as soon as you give me the TN, I wont even enter the US and turn back". Simply get the TN, formally enter the US and spend a couple of hrs and then head back. You will be perfectly fine. As nelsona mentioned, there is a...

Yep... you need to formally enter the US in TN status. Why don't you wanna do that? Just enter, stay for a bit and then you can just drive back

TN category e.g. 'engineer'. I guess in her case, its nursing. IMO, its best if you drive to a land POE to get the TN. Once you guys are ready, you can fly to the work location.

given your situation + the fact that you are thinking of going to YYZ, it might be better to go to a land POE so that your application gets processed, you enter the US on TN and then you can come back to Canada after a few hrs to pack up things and return when ready (even if its after a few...

A lot of families go through the process. It's not difficult at all. Just make sure your wife has a solid tn package. Td for you and kids won't be an issue. Do take birth certificates of kids, marriage cert, degree evals with you. Good luck! You'll do great

Sorry I didn't understand the question. Can you elaborate a bit more

it will definitely take more than 1.5 months unfortunately for you to get EAD. I have heard USCIS is taking a while to adjudicate the EAD/AP applications. Sorry this is probably not what you wanted to hear but thats the current state of things

Nope --- just that you will lose out on 2-3 months of TN time since the TN will be granted for the day you cross the border.

Once you get your TN from any POE (land or air), you wont have to carry your TN package/docs every subsequent time you request entry into the US. You will be given an I-94 that will be stapled in your passport and almost 99% of the time, that is all they will check

Yep.... people did that all the time

Correct. I'm sure you were already thinking on those lines

For property, you can choose to rent or sell it

start PERM right away followed by 140 renewal.... before filing 485 though, you'd want to make sure you have TN renewed or have enough time left on it. Do read up on CuriousGeorge's post
