Hi All, 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 year, with my last day being August 2 so my grace period of 60 days ends on October 1. The employer had filed...

I am visiting India in November 2019 for 3 weeks. I have my current H4 visa stamp in the passport expiring in January 2020. I also have my H4 visa extension that is approved until April 2022. I would like to get my visa stamped while in India to allow me the freedom to travel outside United...

I have approved I-140 and LC and am waiting for the priority date. My employer moved location to the neighboring border state which is within the Washington DC metropolitan area(atleast I think). What do I or employer need to do for the approved I-140 and Lac?

Hi All, I currently hold a TN visa and have my H1B approval notice(without the I-94 attached to it). I intend to go to the border to get my H1B activated and get a new I-94 for the same. My wife is a non-canadian citizen and holds a TD visa. She is unable to travel to Canada with me so I...

Hi All, Applied - October 2007 Test - Passed in February 2008 RQ Sent - April 2008 RQ Submitted - April 2008 Judge Interview August 2009 I have an interview scheduled with the CIC judge in the last week of August after waiting for 17 long months. The reason I recieved the RQ was because...

Hi All, Nelsona, I remember you mentioning that I could enter the USA within 30 days if my visa has expired and I-94 is still valid. My TD visa stamp expires on August 26th, 2009 and the I-94 is valid untill July 2012. I need to go to Canada for my citizensip purpose and was wondering if it...

Hi Superjk, As nelsona rightly said the slowdown is mainly in the working category visas and TD visa is a dependant visa. My wife got my TD visa stamp at the consulate in September 2008 and got her passport on the very next day. But this time we got her a 3 year I-94 card and decided not to...

I went to the Alexandria Bay border.

Hi All, I am getting totally mixed answers about a visa to the Bahamas for my wife who is on a TD visa with an Indian passport. Can somebody please tell me if we need to get her a Bahamas visa as we are taking a 1 week cruise to Bahamas very soon. I am told by a few friends that the cruise...

Hi All, I got my 3 year TN over the long weekend at the POE. I was simply worrying myself over various possible questions but it is better off to be prepared fully. It was a breeze to get it but as always the officer asked me smilingly as to why I am applying for a new TN when I have a month...

Oh and by the way I meant to mention in my last post that I had gotten rejected at the buffalo border once because my educational equivalent was not done properly by the toronto University and I went back after 3-4 days to anothr border by road and got my TN approved. So I guess there is no such...

Hi All, I was reading a post and realised that Elhaix got rejected for a 3 year TN. Do 3 year TN requests get scrutinized more than the 1 year? My company lawyer had adviced that I go for a 1 year TN since I have an H1B approval notice but I requested for a 3 year offer lette as I can then...

Elhaix - you were rejected because you requested a 3 year TN?? Are we under stricter scrutiny if we request for a 3 yr TN versus a 1 yr TN visa? The reason I ask if I have a 3 year offer letter from my employer and I have been working for them for the last 3 years and the company lawyer had...

Thanks Nelsona for that info. I also wanted to check if you have any information abt I-94 and cruise travel. I mean we are planning to take the cruise to Nova Scotia in Canada and wanted to know if they would take away our respective I-94 if it is still valid or let us keep it?

Hi Nelsona, I did not know about the AVR rule so can you please explain it in detail. My spouse is a non-canadian citizen with an expired canadian PR card if that helps. So does it mean she can get her TD(new I-94 valid for 3 yrs) along with me in the 2nd week of July? And then if I go to the...

Thanks a ton Nelsona. My wife's TD visa stamp expires in the last week of August so we are planning to drive to the border in the 2nd week of July and we'll be taking a chance if she gets a TD-I94 with her existing stamp. We are avoiding the consulate trip twice since we'll have to visit the...

Hi All, As some of you I will be going to apply for my TN visa and wife's TD visa at the border very soon. I want to plan a cruise trip and wanted to know if it is safer to take a cruise to Canada as my company lawyer recommended it is upto us if we want to risk it by going to the Bahamas as...

Hi Geccko, Thanks for the info. Yeah I do not have an issue with the start on my TN being earlier so that should be fine. Also, my wife's(non-Canadian passport) TD visa stamp in the passport is valid untill August end so she should be fine to get her I-94 along with me on the June 20th...

Please help Has anybody gone to get a TN earlier than the previous one expired? Did anybody have success? I am planning to go the next weekend(June20th weekend) and my current TN is valid untill August. So you gurus please chime in!

Thanks a lot Nelsona for the straight forward reply. The other question I wanted to ask is , would it be okay to go to the border to get my TN in the 3rd week of June as we are planning to visit some friends in Canada around then and having driven 10 hours each way I might as well get my TN...
