    Lost Job: I-485 was pending more than 180 Days

    1/3. Since you have an EAD, you can work anywhere until your I-485 is determined. 2. The market is not "really bad", but don't give up. 4. It is not likely to be approved, since your sponsor has dropped you. You would need to find a job soon in the same line of work and use I-140 portability...

    TN for State employer

    The type of employer is never an issue. The need for a quality TN letter -- that is has all the required information -- is the same for all employers.

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

    There is no "good or bad" B-2 application for someone who has no foreign ties. You are allowed to file for a six month term to "wrap up affairs". No lawyer or "expert" is going to be able to prep anything more than that. You shouldn't care about B-2 approval or denial, because you will either...

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

    Lots of questions, which by your comments, you have previously found most of the information. The grace period is for you to either get a new status (TN ot whatever), or leave. If the 60-day grace period is insufficient for either of these outcomes, you can ask for a B2 (I-539) as you near the...

    TN denies CSA at Rainbow Bridge

    When you disagree, you always should ask for a supervisor. In this case when an officer says that a CSA "fixes computers", he needs to be re-educated by his chain of command.

    Changing employers - New TN

    You do not have a work authorization anymore for the old employer. Period. Your new employer goofed by clicking wrong box (or did so deliberately if you told them about old employer).

    approved I-140 was NOT proof of immigrant intent?????

    Again, I-140 approval by itself (even NIW) is not considered immig intent. You do not need foreign ties. So renewals or border renewals (which are new TNs in themselves) is not prohibited.

    Changing employers - New TN

    "Extension of TN" was incorrect box for this case, since it was not an extension with the same sponsor, so you *might* not have 2 TNs now. Check the number of the I-94 that was issued, it must be different than the one you submitted with the I-129. If it is, you should be fine. If it is not...

    TN Change of Status to B2 - RFE

    That is why you ask for B2 for the purposes of "winding down US residence"

    USCIS approval notice questions

    Again, the POE does not matter. As a Cdn, you are not required to get a consular visa, so DS-160 is not for your case. If your dependents are all Cdn, they will get their H4 at the border. Otherwise they will need a consular H4 visa. Any particular reason you asked H1/H4 questions on a TN forum?

    Concurrent TN visa question

    Linapup. You have entered on TN status, Period. You have shown proof of that status using one of the two I-94 which belong to you, It did not matter which. When the CBP officer mentioned "online" he was referring to their system of documentation received from USCIS, which has record of your...

    Concurrent TN visa question

    Toni, If you are getting mixed messages, then I am not the one to clarify, since I believe you can only get a new TN at a consulate or by mail, but I have limited knowledge. I suggest you have your employer contact one of those immig attys, since they will be the ones providing your paperwork...

    Concurrent TN visa question

    The lawyer is incorrect. It is not superseded. One enters US on 1 status (your is TN), You were granted an I-94 when your I-129 was approved, It continues to be valid. Both continue to be valid. It is quite normal (in fact required) for those working concurrently to have two or more I-94s...

    Concurrent TN visa question

    Well, of course you kept the "piece of paper" that was your second I-94. You need that to prove your second TN. At some point you should simply staple that one in your passport, as originally instructed, and it will prove status until December. Online I-94s only show those issued by CBP. Yours...

    Returning to Canada after getting TN status

    1. No 2. You have them cross the border any time during or after you get your TN with proof of marriage/birth certs. 3. No 4. Land crossing has no time pressure if there are questions. PFI at airport requires you to arrive very early to pass interview and take your flight (you must be flying to US).

    TN Transfer and Start Date

    1. It is very likely that a border officer would give you a TN on July 21 (which is your last legal day) for a TN that starts in August. Much before that is questionable. 2. There is no such thing as a TN transfer. You are getting a new TN each time your change sponsor. You can certainly leave...

    Returning to Canada after getting TN status

    Generally, yes. But technically you are supposed to be applying for TN "on your way to work", but I have not seen this applied rigorously at the border. Does your letter specify a start date (it is best that it not).

    Mexican TN Visa Holder with a new I-94 from CBP with B2 class of admission

    1. have you applied at a consulate for a new visa? This takes time and requires that you leave US at some point. 2. If you got a TN before, and are applying for the same job, you meet the requirements. Your employer has done this before for you, so they are familiar with the process. Mention...
