    Next logistical steps with new job offer after lay off

    I would really appreciate some input while I try to navigate this really difficult time. I am an Indian born Canadian citizen and was laid off from an American company after 18 years, with my last day being October 1 so my grace period of 60 days ends on November 30. The employer had filed for...

    Canadian Citizen, Laid off on H1

    Thank you so much for this information, some of the companies that are coming back with the offer are even willing to consider H1B. In my situation with me being a Canadian citizen and my last working day at the current organization (who laid me off) being October 1, will the potential new...

    Canadian Citizen, Laid off on H1

    Yeah, I am currently on a H1B visa with the company that laid me off, and my last day is October 1. So with the new offer I have, they're willing to hire me on a TN and the quickest way seems like driving up to the border. Should I aim to drive on October 1 to apply for the TN? Also my spouse...

    Canadian Citizen, Laid off on H1

    Hey Nelsona, I was finally able to find a job, and this potential employer is willing to hire me on a TN. Upon my earlier request, my employer who laid me off has extended my last date to October 1. Can I have a concurrent TN? If not, how does the timing of this work? The employed would like me...

    Approved 140 over 8 yrs ago and laid off

    Correct, they said since it's been more than 180 days, it was mine to port. Since my i-140 was approved 8 years ago with the PERM, they can no longer kill it, right? I have a copy of the approved i-140, do I need to ask the employer for anything else in relation to the PERM and i-140 before my...

    Canadian Citizen, Laid off on H1

    Correct, my 485 is not yet filed, because I am waiting for the priority date. If I drive up to the border with the required documents for the TN, I could get it that way, right? If/when I find this new employer willing to hire me on a TN, will they need to file my PERM & 140 right at that time...

    Canadian Citizen, Laid off on H1

    Thanks Nelsona, my spouse is Indian citizen. The lawyers said the path of least resistance from finding a new job maybe the TN visa, and an AOS from TN can be filed when the priority date becomes current. Lawyer also confirmed while applying for a job, it's acceptable to select I will not need...

    Canadian Citizen, Laid off on H1

    For sure, we have a need for two things now. To stay in the country so our kid can finish school and then find an employer to port our I-140. The immediate need is to stay so we don’t uproot, and unfortunately its so hard to find an employer who will port our I-140 within 60 days. We’re trying...

    H1B, Laid off with last date in 2 weeks, but severance paid over a year

    My employer is paying the severance package over a year but my last date is next week. When I asked the immigration department at my employer, I am told so as as I maintain my US bank account, severance payments can be made. I was further told paying for services requires work authorization and...

    Thank you, I have decided to switch over to TN because in this market, it’s very difficult to find an employer willing to do file an H1B visa

    Canadian Citizen, Laid off on H1

    I have not yet filed for I-485 because my priority date is not current. I have posted on the H1B forum as well, but my case is so unique with me being a Indian born Canadian citizen that probably open up more than one options as the next step. So I would love some help and guidance. If the next...
