    Family still on td when I switched to H1b in October 2022

    You have little choice. Their TDs will be effective the date you cross, not back-dated. As has been said a couple of times, they have not incurred unlawful presence/ While I said your employer *could* have helped you, you are your dependents sponsor, not your employer. it was your...

    Family still on td when I switched to H1b in October 2022

    As newacct correctly pointed out, there will be no issue at the border, since they will have left US by default, and have not amassed any unlawful presence. You have no other alternative at this point. Thank your firm's lawyers for that.

    Questions on support letter: software engineer title under CSA category

    Your TN letter should describe your tasks of your position, in terms that match the DOL Occupational Handbook (your lawyers should know what that is), not company-specific internal-use terms. And the letter should say nothing about your qualifications. You provide the one necessary at the...

    Family still on td when I switched to H1b in October 2022

    TN and H1b and every other non-immigrant status are different, and one can only hold one at a time, regardless of the sponsor, so your TN and the TDs ended the moment you got H1b. It would have been nice if your firm had taken care of all of you. Poor treatment I would say,

    Mark-sheets vs Transcript or both

    Jaz Asking about port implies that you think that there is a difference in ports ("better" ports). There isn't. Just focus on a proper petition.

    Mark-sheets vs Transcript or both

    You need your diploma and the evaluation. Transcripts are for those who do not have a direct correlation between their degree and the TN category for which they are applying. If this is not your case, then don't worry about it. If it is, bring every stich of transcript/marks/etc to make your...

    TN Visa - New Immigrant

    In fact you were very unclear, since you said she lives in the "same province". Her living in US really precludes you from getting TN. You need to apply for Green card.

    TN Visa - New Immigrant

    There is never a need to prove intent to return to Canada or any other country when on TN. However, if your spouse decides to move down to US with you, then you are presumed to be eventually moving to US, which would jeopardize your TN. So, I guess her staying in Canada would be the only...

    TN Visa - Manager tittle (technical) with engineering degree

    If the job description is in line with an engineer you will get the TN. If not, you won't. The internal job title is not the main criteria. Just because the company asked for you to have an engineering degree does not automatically make it an engineering job. Beware however that managing people...

    Mark-sheets vs Transcript or both

    You will need to have your studies evaluated for equivalence to US bachelors degree, so provide ALL you can to the evaluation firm. They can guide you as to what you need.

    L1b change of status to TN wait time

    One does NOT have to be in status when applying at the border. One has left US at that point. Unless one has accumulated LOTS of days of unlawful presence (which would not the case here until many MANY months had passed) admittance will be based solely on the petition presented at the POE.

    Travel on TN with Pending I-140

    There is no conflating correct information: a pending or approved I-140 has no impact on travel, return to US, or TN eligibility.

    Laid off - change TN/TD status to B2

    "her TD status will kick-in automatically." That, you do not know for sure..

    Laid off - change TN/TD status to B2

    Of course this will work, because getting a border TD does not require being "in status". As I said, only the issue of filing an I-539 while during grace period is in question, and I don't know the answer to that.

    TD status when TN Principal applicant change employer in the US

    She remains in TD status (because you are maintaining your TN), with original expiry date. She does not need to change her I-94 until much closer to expiry date.

    Laid off - change TN/TD status to B2

    Grant/Bigboy, Before assuming that you can extend her TD by mail, it would be good to know (and I think this is your latest question), if you and your dependents are actually in TN/TD status during the grace period. I do not know if Grace Period = TN and TD status, or if it is some limbo status...
