yes...because you felt the need to point out "near the border" comment also. Why couldnt you just leave it at the absolutely accurate response from Cal?

"near the border" can imply either of the two imo. Best to clarify as Cal did...

yep

Ack understand. My intent was to encourage the OP to not wait to be able to talk to them on phone and instead just drive over to the local cbp office

its straight fwd to get TN from the border if you have a solid TN letter, NOT an offer letter. There is no min wage requirement for TN

just to add, if they are not picking up the phone, I'd just drive over to the local office (usually at airports). I had an issue with my family too where a CBP error had to be corrected. I did that at the local office...they took 30 mins, were very courteous and fixed the problem. Your issue can...

If you have been laid off, under what status do you intend to reside in the US? Visitor status only gives you visitation privilege, not residency privilege. Secondly, generally after leaving a job on TN and going back to Canada, CBP would want to see you have established home ties in Canada...

Unfortunately not...those lines are needed but you should tell them this is not a sponsorship but simply a letter from them that they have to sign without spending any money on it

When you ask the employer to sign and send this custom letter that you are authoring, wont they ask why you want them to send this letter? I would argue instead that the moment you include the "end of the letter" lines, they will know you are asking for something that requires sponsorship...

just to add, it seems your profile is a pretty solid one for the Engineer category TN. You should perhaps provide them (your employer) a sample TN letter and tell them thats all thats needed from their side. This letter describes: 1. Request for TN 2. Category --> Engineer 3. Job...

Hello 1. It (TN support letter) can mention Engineering specialist as a job position BUT it must also mention that the job qualifies under the Engineer NAFTA category (lookup the job code also online) 2. Remember that until you have gone through the process of PERM--> 140-->485 and issued a GC...

Sai...try asking on http://www.trackitt.com forum which is significantly active wrt 140/485 issues.

there is a possibility they will approve TN if the package is solid. If you can, maybe try to bring in the trip time to POE <3 weeks before expiration

does that mean that in such cases, its almost always better to try to get TN at a POE?

thanks for clarifying. I believe the OP already has 130 filed though so basically dont bringup with the POE officer voluntarily of course unless asked. When I got my TN, I had 130 filed for me also but to be fair, the officer never asked. Not sure how he would have reacted if he had asked me...

if you have a solid package, I'd rather go to POE. Its probably best to go closer to the expiry date. Even if the POE were to give you the renewal 4-months before expiry, you would have lost out on 4-months of a previous authorization

nope you are fine. If they ask, of course tell the truth that a 130 petition is filed but that it will take 15 years and your TN work assignment is only a 3=yr temporary assignment. Also, its the filing of 485 that signifies dual intent not 130/140

PumaSD: dont think anyone would list it explicitly :). What info are you looking for specifically?

What's the TN classification that you are aiming for and your degree details?

whether you apply at border or through USCIS, it has nothing to do with changes to NAFTA (if any). Both method work of course although getting it at border is probably better/faster as long as you have a solid application package. I didnt get what you meant by missing doc. Why would employer...
