Software Engineer is not eligible for TN status. Your current position is fully irrelevant for a TN application. The only time past experience matters is in a handful of categories where 3 years experience is combined with a 2-year diploma to fulfill the education requirement. "computer...

Your options seem to be either; - try to convince the employer to hire a different lawyer - try to convince the employer to let you make your own application (either with or without a lawyer's help) Sounds like you don't have much to lose either way

Sorry for the late reply. The paper I-94 is surrendered only on the final departure from the USA before it expires. If your intent is to leave & return to the USA before it expires, then leave it in your passport. Your proof that you have a valid I-94 is actually stored in the CBP database...

Look at the list of eligible TN employment titles Look at the job descriptions in the Occupational Outlook Handbook You degree must be directly relevant to whatever job you are hoping to take on I don't know what specialist positions "Instrumentation & Controlling" is directly relevant for, but...

If your current TN is still valid, you should expect to be allowed into the USA even after being rejected for a new TN. There's no reason you cannot apply for a TN at the border even if your I-129 was rejected. But be aware if your I-129 was rejected it was probably for a good reason and you...

FWIW I'd return to the same POE as the original rejection. Any other POE, the agent may see your recent rejection, and could assume you are port-shopping.

Maybe things have changed in the past few years, or maybe I was lucky, but in the past I have had no trouble at all telling border guards my intention for entry was to look for work.

If you apply a few days before your current TN expires then, even if your new TN is denied, you can be allowed entry on your existing I-94.

Every POE is capable of processing TN visa applications. Just make sure the POE makes sense. Border agents get unhappy if they feel you are port-shopping. Theoretically you could be stranded in Mexico, I would expect you'd be permitted entry as a tourist however.

You cannot "move" to the USA without some kind of immigrant visa. You can "visit" the USA as a tourist. You would tell the border agent: "I am looking for work in the USA."

1. TN "renewal" is not a real concept, you are simply applying for a new TN. Probably there's no reason not to use the same offer letter as you used before (with updated dates / compensation / etc.) 2. You are the one applying for the visa status, so there's no reason for you to not write the...

Yes you can apply for a change of status by filing an I-539, apparently it costs $455

If you attempt to apply for a TN at the POE, and they discover you are married to a US citizen, it seems likely they would deem you to have "immigrant intent" and deny your application. Sounds like you should arrange your affairs to apply for a GC immediately after she becomes a citizen, and...

maybe i'm wrong, but... I-129 TN application is only for changing the status of a person who is already within the USA If you are currently outside the USA, you are expected to present yourself at a USA Port of Entry and make a normal TN application. If your application is approved, you are...

When job-hunting, you absolutely should list a USA address in the vicinity of the area where you want to work. There is literally no reason not to do it, and putting an address outside the geographic area can only reduce your options.

BTW, I understand that applying for a TD is a different issue than simply re-entering the USA on a TN-1 permit. However, in my completely uneducated opinion, I still believe presenting your original support letter (assuming it's so recent you haven't received your first pay stub) would be...

Nelsona + I disagree on this necessity to carry "proof of employment" (Paystub, HR letter, whatever) when crossing into USA on a TN-1 permit. No one myself or my lawyers have ever worked with has actually had a border agent demand such proof. However, in case you are worried, you could simply...

My lawyer told me I had to file my I-539 to change to B2 status before my employment was terminated. Take it for what it's worth. You might want to a consultation on this one.
