Congratulations. Enjoy the home. I recently sold my USA house and am also quite happy :D

I recently crossed from Tijuana with a TN application. Check the POE schedules. The hours have changed thanks to covid. Work is considered an essential purpose. Others have reported no problem making their TN applications.

I am Canadian. I have had my current I-94 for approximately 1 year (out of 3 granted) on TN Status. I recently entered a POE to apply for TN status for a 2nd employer. It took quite a while to make it happen. The officers seemed very reluctant. They claimed the system "would not let...

good, you need that for a TN. I have heard that it's possible to have a foreign degree evaluated as having a Canada/USA equivalency. I don't have info about that. But if I were to use such a service, I would pick a service based in the USA & make sure they're experience doing evaluations for...

anithamerugu, if you are living in Canada, and working in Canada, then don't bother applying for a TN. A TN lets you live & work in the USA. if you don't want to live in or work in the USA, then the TN has no value for you. If your situation changes, you can apply for a TN at that time.

Probably only taxes / pay withholding. Speak to an accountant familiar with Canada/USA filing issues. You may be able to stop paying USA-related deductions. (SSN, etc.). Your I-94 should remain valid even when you move out of the USA, meaning you can cross the border relatively freely.

Most people on these forums will not help cook up a form letter, because a) CBP officers will spot and reject a form letter floating around, making it very quickly worthless b) those officers will then be rightly annoyed at the shenanigans and scrutinize the rest of us more harshly so our...

Never once has a border officer asked me about owning a house, and I don't think it's information they'd even know unless they were specifically looking for it outside their normal INS records. They don't, BUT, some lenders will simply refuse to lend to non-citizens, and also recent newcomers...

Those links don't exist. My understanding is that CSA category will only be approved with a computer or IT related degree or diploma. It's up to the discretion of the officer reviewing the application though.

In my experience: ignorant employers' lawyers are the ones who are discouraging sponsorship letters, not the other way around. Only when the employer tells their lawyer "this must happen, we're paying you to solve problems not be problems" do those lawyers suddenly discover the ability to write...

Maybe, maybe not, we know he was not forthcoming when he entered as a tourist. If your primary goal is for USCIS to think your husband has been honest, then when he applies for his TN, he should truthfully volunteer that his primary purpose is to live in the USA for a year before you sponsor...

Go to the closest POE

Just a heads up: 5 months ago my TN-1 employment ended, so I submitted a I-539 to change my status to tourist. Recently I received a RFE asking for proof of my travel & tourism activities since that time. (In addition to the usual foreign ties, proof of money to support myself). If anyone...

A lawyer won't help him get a better letter from a reluctant employer though. Unless you are saying this HR department is dismissing this poster's advice is unqualified and will suddenly show respect to a stranger with J.D. after his/her name.

#1 is "probably". Having a spouse living in the USA creates a presumption of immigrant intent. #2 is you definitely can apply for an adjustment, just make sure to wait long enough so there's no presumption of fraud on your husband's TN entry. I have heard after 90 days there's no...

Based on the tone of your bullet points, i think you're taking the experience personally. And it won't help your cause. You're not at the border trying to prove how great your alma matter is, or to evade questions which aren't legally relevant. - Can an american do your job? Probably. But...

My understanding is that POEs are only closed to tourism visits. Canadians & Mexicans entering for work are permitted. I believe that POEs will process TN applications as they always have. Actually getting a job offer certainly will be harder, but if someone gives up job hunting just because...

I heard the 12-month anecdotes in late 2018. If you got 3 years, congratulations. Either what I heard was irregular, or, port policy changed again sometime in 2019.

I'm going to speculate that some border officers are treating "Software Engineer" as a sham title for "Software Developer", the way one might treat "Waste Disposal Engineer" as a sham title for "Garbageman" (rightly or wrongly). However if one were to attempt entry as a "Software Engineer"...

Why not? This seems like a risky idea. You could get away with it if border officers never discover the true date your employment ends, in fact it's unlikely unless you somehow arouse suspicion, but 'what if'?
