    According to USCIS: https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/students-and-exchange-visitors/optional-practical-training-opt-for-f-1-students You would also need to be entering on your F1 status. Be careful with Nexus, as I believe your card is issued to you based on a particular...

    My wife did not received an updated/new i94 along with my TN extension? Her TD visa is valid for another 24 days from my previous TN

    You could, if you go before the 24th. To be clear, you are saying that her current I-94 and her consular visa have the same expiry date?

    [Confusion]TN educational Requirements under CSA

    1. Correct 2. The MSC would become your 2-yr diploma. It would be a match, so no red flag. 3. The bachelors can be from any N American instution and will be accepted regardless of length.

    My wife did not received an updated/new i94 along with my TN extension? Her TD visa is valid for another 24 days from my previous TN

    What is the expiry date of her consular visa stamp? And when does her Indian passport expire? This may have been a factor in his refusal. Non-Cdns can and should get I-94s at the border if otherwise eligible. The officer (and wutang2) was incorrect. You could try to go to a local office to fix...

    Working for Texas based company and living in Buffalo for short time crossing the border every weekend

    The border doesn't care about your car etc, but they may question you each time that you say you are going to work when you are 1000 miles away from where you say you live.

    Working for Texas based company and living in Buffalo for short time crossing the border every weekend

    Once you live in a state (and are not a student) you need to plate and register within 30 days. You live (and are working) in NY. You will likely also pay NY tax on your wages. Besides, this will avoid questions at border when you tell them you are "going to work" every Monday in Buffalo, with...

    Working for Texas based company and living in Buffalo for short time crossing the border every weekend

    It will not cause any TN issues, since TNs are not geographically based. It will however keep you a Cdn tax resident. If you are living in Buffalo, you should be getting a NY driver's license and plates.

    Canadian Citizen, Laid off on H1

    Your sponsor should be taking up your case the day they hire you. The more they invest in you the less chance they will let you go. Don't have "anytime" as a goal. Have "yesterday" as your goal.

    Returning to Canada after getting TN status

    They *could*, but are unlikely to un-approve a TN that a fellow CBP officer approved. It is the TNs obtained thru USCIS (by I-129) that risk denial (on the first entry) by CBP. You will only know this the first time you cross with your petition But nothing that auto_art said implied future...

    Canadian Citizen, Laid off on H1

    Let's pump the brakes here. For one, IF the worker is eligible for I-140 porting, one is not required to re-submit PERM and I-140. That is why it is portable. The sponsor would notify USCIS that they are assuming responsibility. But a much more important issue is whether or not this poster is...
