    TN Visa / Change of Employer / POE Re-Entry

    You have your I-797 approval and the I-94. That will be sufficient. Your TN consular visa validity is not tied to a particular employer, in fact, even if you ahd changed statuses your visa would still be acceptable due to AVR. This "comment" you heard must have had more to it. I would dismiss it.

    You will be advised, after you file I-485. These are strictly GC questions, not TN> Please ask on relevant forums, not here.

    TD Visa Application for non-Canadian

    They need to be re-educated, and a call by them to State Dept (perhaps to a US consulate in canada) should clear that up. His I-94 and your marriage license work. You may wish to have a copy of the support documents that were used to get TN on hand. Unless you have a home in a foreign country I...

    TD Visa from Indian Passport to Canada

    Her TD (i-94) remains valid, since nothing about the underlying TN has changed. As pointed out, she no longer needs a consular visa, so can travel freely, merely showing her I-94 and new passport when re-entering. CBP will likely restamp her status (not a visa stamp) in her Cdn passport the...

    TN->GC ......Clarification Before Start/Filling Application

    2. I would not say that it is automatic that one will be able to reapply for TN after failed I-485 (that would be too optimistic, pun intended), because one has clearly demonstrated immigration intent, which is forbidden on TN. There would have to be some period of time after AOS denial in order...

    TN->GC ......Clarification Before Start/Filling Application

    1. That would be a question for a lawyer. 2. You would not be able to obtain another TN once your I-485 was submitted. Any sponsor would have to apply for an H1-B. You would likely have to leave US for some time 3. They are not required to pay any of the fees for GC. 4. This is a site hosted by...

    TD Visa Application for non-Canadian

    You could -- if you still qualify as B2 (having a foreign home) when you enter. I assume you have a B2 visa stamp right now? You would then apply for TD by filing form I-539. However you will at some point need a new consular visa in order to travel. Since you say you have already started the...

    TD Visa Application for non-Canadian

    Canadians are almost NEVER granted a Consular visa, so any site that says this is a requirement for the non-Canadians to get a visa, is completely wrong. Simply submit a copy of the I-94 and proof of marriage.

    Add or change employer at PoE TN2

    You can certainly go to the border and get a second TN entry stamp (which is different from the consulate visa), stamped in your passport. Because your TN visa is still good, you do not have to go to the consulate. But you need a new I-94 entry stamp (which, again, is different from the...

    Add or change employer at PoE TN2

    You can't "change" the employer/sponsor on your current TN. You need a brand new petition, with the new sponsor. If you think you might be rehired by the old employer, simply keep your old TN I-94 and get a second one for the new one. It is quite acceptable to maintain two or more active TNs...

    TN1 Visa

    If you are going to live in US once you get TN, you should be taking all your property with you at some point, including your car. You do not need to keep any ties in Canada when on TN/TD.

    TN Status Ultimatum at POE

    The problem is your employer will be submitting EXACTLY the same information on this new submission (the weren't lying on the previous one). So what are CBP going to say differently this time? That is why I am suggesting that someone accompany you to either a CBP office or the border demanding...

    TN Status Ultimatum at POE

    Your TN is valid. There is no need to refile. You need to get a lawyer to get them to stop harassing you.

    TN Status Ultimatum at POE

    Do not go through another POE. Get this fixed (which you probably should have done after the second time you had trouble. You need to talk this over with a lawyer. Your firm should be backing you up. Your firm needs to get involved.

    Can I Hold Two TN Visas for Different Work Locations?

    Yes, you can hold 2 TNs. Location is unimportant. Just be sure that you tell the officer that you are requesting a second TN, or, if employer is submitting an I-129, that they are requesting new concurrent employment.

    TN (1099)to Green Card

    Remember that your GC application will be based on the future job. So if you and the employer wish to stay on 1099 until GC is approved, that is between you and them. As long as it is clear in the application that you will be working as an employee after the GC. 1099 gives you no benefits, while...

    TN (1099)to Green Card

    To get an employment-based GC by sponsorship, you need to have a sponsor willing to offer you a permanent job upon receipt of the GC, ie. an employer. While you are certainly permitted to get a TN sponsored by a "client" (the manner in which you are paid is unimportant), you will need a sponsor...

    Got laid off On TN

    Just to clarify, you would file a I-539 (TN to B2) for yourself, and your spouse would file ONE I-539 (TD to B2), and include the children.
