    TN to L1B to GC Indian Born Canadian

    Yes (if you and your job are TN-eligible), or, since you have approved i-140, you can try to switch to H1-B (again, if you and the job are H1-B-eligible) and have unlimited extensions until you get GC (or EAD at an earlier step in the process). I only mention the eligibility requirement, since...

    Terminated while on TN

    Yes, but only because they can prove they have home in Canada. Otherwise, it would be up to the officer to decide if -- without residential ties in another country -- the person was trustworthy and would leave after a specified time. That may in this case only issue a B2 I-94 with a specific...

    Job Loss while on TN (Grace Period + B-2 ?)

    I've have heard nothing about that, Concern or not, not much you or they can do about it. There were similar "concerns" from reading the tealeaves leading up to Trump 1.0 and nothing happened...

    Job Loss while on TN (Grace Period + B-2 ?)

    How long was your B2 status approved. And have you started the process to move back to Canada, or are you still looking for a job now (after 5 months)? Or did you find a job?

    Got laid off On TN

    How long ago did you apply? Normally the receipt acknowledgement is issued within days. Did you move? In any event, you need to get in touch with your local USCIS office and find out the status of your petitions and cancel them (they will not have been approved yet, that takes several months)...

    TD visa application at border for Canadian

    We try not to delve into taxes here. Too much partial or mis-information (as above, sorry). forums.serbinski.com deals well with these topics.

    TD visa application at border for Canadian

    1. As long as you don't do anything suspicious, you should be fine. I would invest in NEXUS to speed things up. 2. You can get TD by yourself, no need for your Indian birth cert, or Cdn citizenship cert, your passport proves your citizenship. . Children's birth certs (with parent's name) and...

    Seeking Advice on TN Transfer/Concurrent Employment with Approved I-140

    No need to elaborate. I have not heard of RFE because of this. But if you are worried, file "new". Realize that you are under no obligation to give notice to your previous employer.

    TN>485

    As newacct said (kinda) you file I-485 immediately after entering US on new or existing TN. You will need to wait 90 days after last entry to file I-485. I would INSIST on I-129.

    TN>485

    1. I would wait for approval (using premium processing) before submitting I-485. 2. You would file after you get new TN, and spouse has applied for I-485.

    Seeking Advice on TN Transfer/Concurrent Employment with Approved I-140

    Only if you file concurrent will you be assured of being allowed to have 2 jobs concurrently (makes sense, no?). Otherwise, your current I-94 will be changed to the new sponsor (same number). Rememeber, you submit your I-94 with the I-129 to get continued status.. Obviously you cannot have 2...

    Td visa for deported person.

    Not really. They either take you at your word, or don't. Ties in canada now mean nothing, since there is no guarantee that they would still exist at the end of your TN mandate.

    Change of status from TN to another classification

    You can re-enter on an existing, viable TN, even after a COS to another status. Newacct pointed out that one's status is determined on each entry. But the question becomes, since your new status becomes immediately effective on approval, your TN is invalid on that date and until you re-enter on...

    Renewing TN at POE with a pending case

    It is not a problem. You should bring proof that you submitted I-129, but in order to re-enter you will need to get your TN at the border, with all required documentation. Of course, if your I-129 gets approved while out of the country, you simply ask CBP to verify and issue you new I-94...

    Td visa for deported person.

    Neither TN nor TD require any foreign ties. You are allowed to live full-time and solely in US if you wish.

    TN Visa / Change of Employer / POE Re-Entry

    So, enter another way. They are acting contrary to regulation, and no other POE is acting this way. Airport POEs are often ignorant of TN regs.

    TN Visa / Change of Employer / POE Re-Entry

    This is anecdotal. What is the point of telling you this? Is Denver Airport CBP suddenly a law unto itself? Have they issued such a decree? If you are that worried, don't fly directly from MX to DEN.
