Thanks nelsona

Hi everyone, I am trying to validate my understanding of how TN would work in the following scenario. A friend of mine has been working on TN status with a large company. He has a 3-yr TN set to expire in Feb next year (2018). Up until now, he was working out of the US, however, due to family...

Its entirely possible that Canada-US might enter into a bilateral agreement if NAFTA were to fall through...IAC, for now, I think until the withdrawal happens (if it happens), I'd say assume status quo...

Agree with @Britsimon -- also keep in mind that (per my understanding) post-withdrawal notification, there is a period of 6 months that the withdrawing country would need to wait. I'd suggest you go ahead with your plan to request for a TN on May-13th...

Can you give some more details? Are your dependents in Canada? If so, going to the closest POE is the fastest way to get TD status for your dependents and TN for yourself in parallel

they'd likely look at job responsibilities at the time of renewal. As long as its consistent with the engineer category, you should be fine. From what I can tell from the post (and you can confirm too :)), your job responsibilities will grow as you are growing in your career but more on the...

Yep...you mentioned in your original post you won't be managing people

You should be fine ... TN was given on the specific category e.g. engineer not on nob title Hth

Just the TN I 94 is sufficient. You might want to scan the docs and keep them on cloud just in case thought I doubt they'd ask to see them until your next TN petition

afaik, electronic I94s do not list the employer info. They just list the date and port of entry and the status in which you were allowed to enter the US

It is ok to interview in the US *but* when you enter the US, you have to tell the CBP officer that you are going there to interview. The entry that they then grant to you is not of a casual visitor but a business visitor. I am not doubting your intentions but think of it from the officer's POV...

Dont think about whether the officer will be annoyed or not. Instead its best to focus on having a solid petition and everything should go ok. Weekday/weekend shouldnt matter. Good luck

I think he meant that in general, contractors dont go for GCs given the nuances involved...not that GC holders cant take contract work

@OttawaSenators - hope it works out for you soon. Best of luck.

ack - thank you for confirming

makes sense. I did the same i.e. got my TN at a land POE and then traveled to my job a few days letter. You should be ok getting TN at POE *but* dont just say to them: "oh i will turn back right now itself". Get the TN, enter the US and then after some time (few hours or so), you can go back to...

No - you have nthng to be worried about (unless of course you are inadmissible to the US for reasons other than your TN authorization)

jfyi... A TN visa worker may attend school provided it is incidental to his/her employment in the U.S.: “If a Canadian or Mexican national has been already admitted to the United States in a work-related nonimmigrant classification pursuant to NAFTA, it is permissible for them to attend school...

to Nelsona's point: "If you never plan to work for B, then next time you are at the border just hand in your 'B' TN to the Cdn officer" -- if you stop working for 'A' TN, just hand that one over to the Cdn officer instead

My law firm sent me the TN letter and equivalency of the docs. I took that to the border with degree and voila...
