If your family leaves without EAD/AP, then AP will be denied. EAD/AP takes up to 3 months to arrive hence the reason for them to stay. Otherwise, they will be out of status. If you are going to pursue GC, then why do you want to risk it just for 3 months?

If you are close to YUL, try Ogdensburg POE. Grasmick recently ranked it as second best

H1B is a work authorization. EB3 is the employment-based category that you use (if applicable) when filing your GC application. I'd suggest going through the link from curiousGeorge to understand the different steps in the immigration process. The advertisements used in PERM are very different...

Hello --- checkout http://www.immigrationportal.com/showpost.php?p=984692&postcount=2 While it will be good to get H1, it is subject to the annual lottery (as of now). This said, regardless of your status, start the PERM process asap. Good luck

For PERM to 140, checkout http://forums.immigration.com/threads/tn-to-gc-a-timeline.325537/#post-2411596 You can probably use the lawyer (Rajiv) hosting this forum. I have heard lot of good reviews about Immigration Law Group also (based in Cali). I didnt understand your Q here: "Also, can i...

If you are close to the border, why not just make a trip up north, get the TN renewed and be done with it?

Of course --- you can get the TN from any POE. You could drive to the POEs in Kingston, Niagara etc., get the TN (but *do* enter the US) and then you can come back, pack up and fly to Cali. Good luck

did you employer file for COS when they petitioned for your H1? IAC, I also think going to the border with your H package should be fine...CBP should issue you an I94

People born outside India and China of course (at this time) have a shorter path to getting the GC. This said, remember that TN or H1 is just a 'status' for you to work in the US. As nelsona mentioned, you can start the GC process and continue to attempt for H1s. Yes you can easily switch from...

more than risky, it will be very time consuming....you're looking at 9-10+yrs wait...

I empathize with your concern. You might want to see this youtube video: This was posted by well-known lawyer Joseph C. Grasmick

from my experience, it is always adjudicated in 15 calendar days or less

check http://forums.immigration.com/threads/tn-h1b-tn-with-approved-i140.336810/ 140 is not immigrant intent so you will be ok

Yep and your TN is given on basis of the TN letter/package, the very nature of which is temporary. Remember that the letter explicitly states TN is needed for a certain duration only

good luck. Its unfortunate they are giving you a hard time for something as simple as this. I'd still say ... ask them to get lawyers on the phone with you to make your case...

if they ask, you tell the truth. But dont volunteer info if not asked. As nelsona said, you are not going to be deemed as a 'potential immigrant' simply because your wife is on a TN

You should request to get on a call with HR and lawyers together. Unfortunately, I doubt CBP will issue TN without all required info (job duration is one of those) :(. You need to then ask the lawyers in-effect to explain to HR. "Also the HR said that what If I get terminated in 6 months of...

While in general, attorneys are not required for something as simple as getting a TN (if you qualify), in this case though, where your HR is expressing doubts, perhaps them involving an attorney is not a bad thing. The attorney will clarify to them likely that it is ok to word it appropriately...

You need to educate them that on TN including the fact that it allows for renewals and just like H1 is a temporary work visa, TN status is no different but much more easy to secure. You should not give up at all. Assuming you are eligible for TN, hopefully some convincing will result in them...
