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

    Already discussed. Not a problem. Many TNers have gotten TNs (both by mail and at border) after I-140 (which is neither an immigrant visa nor adjustment of status) submission and approval, but before submitting I-485 (which is adjustment of status). Why are you trying to make it one? Done.

    Scientific Technician - supervisor Qualification

    That should be sufficient. The letter should describe how you will be interacting with/supporting him.

    Company acquired by new owner

    CBP won't "update" it unless you present new petition, which is completely unnecessary. Mergers and Acquisitions happen all the time. You are not the first TNer to experience this. Your TN remains valid.

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

    Doesn;t even need to be temporary entry. I-140 is expressly excluded from being considered immig intent for TN. This is by memo to both CIS and CBP. Old news and overkill. All covered in the pinned thread on this forum.

    Company acquired by new owner

    Your TN remains valid. Corporate changes don't impact your TN because the new entity assumes all "rights and responsibilities". including your sponsorship. When it is renewal time, use updated information; until then you are fine.

    Social Security Deduction at Paycheck

    Only some foreign workers are exempt from Social Security (F-1,J-1,M-1, or Q-1), those in TN are not. Canadians who spend 20 years working in US and/or Canada will get some SS at retirement with as little as 6 quarters (~18 months) of SS contributions, so don't worry about losing out.

    TN Visa with ONLY offer letter

    You don't need experience, you have your bach degree, you simply need to get it evaluated against US degree, which I'm sure will pass. And Med Tech DOES accept experience and North American diploma, so you do qualify for that BOTH ways. (Degree alone or Diploma+3ys) But if you add your...

    TN Visa with ONLY offer letter

    I think you may be applying under the wrong TN category. You are a Medical Technologist, which has its own TN category, not a Scientific Technologist. For SciTech position (you did not mention this in your original post), you also need to list the qualifications of your immediate superior...

    New concurrent TN / Passport

    The "approval" will be given for the full requested term. It is the I-94 that will be shorted. With I-129, you will get an I-94 with full term (you don't send in your passport with I-129, so there is nothing in your old passport). As I said what is in your passport or not is immaterial.

    Chemical Engineer with Software Engineer work experience TN1 visa

    It's not the "position" that gets declined, it is the job description: "Kid8 is being hired as a software engineer, developing applications and solutions for the chemical industry." would work. Find the job with that in mind, worry about the TN later.

    Chemical Engineer with Software Engineer work experience TN1 visa

    As I said, because of your education, your job should be a chemical engineering job, not IT. Every profession uses and develops software for its own purposes, using principles from that domain. Your job should follow that. It was fine to work outside your profession in canada, but for TN, you...

    Of course you have a chance to get TN under engineering -- if your job duties are that of an engineer.

    New concurrent TN / Passport

    1. Yes. But if the stamp in passport only shows up to passport expiry date, you simply bring back your original supporting docs when you get the new passport and they will give you updated stamping. The I-94 is ALWAYS the official document, not what is stamped in any passport. 3. Answer...

    Chemical Engineer with Software Engineer work experience TN1 visa

    Chemical engineerins IS engineering, so the job you are seeking should be an engineering job, likely using your chemical background. Experience doesn't count for an Engineering TN, so your previous work doesn't really count towards getting the TN (it of course will be useful in getting the job...

    New concurrent TN / Passport

    1. If you do a border TN, your TN will be approved for the three years BUT, your I-94 work authorization will only be 'til DEc 2025. Once you get your new Passport, you can get the remaining time on a new I-94 on a subsequent entry. You could of course submit an I-129 by mail to USCIS, and the...
