Ok. I thought getting a TN requires you to be sponsored by your US employer (and that relationship can be based on either W2 or 1099).

There is no connection between being on TN+1099 and eligibility for starting your GC. It is possible to get your GC without the H1B route - just like many others on this forum did.

Yes, it will be ok as long as you do not get paid for your work.

-- You cannot just move to Canada without being transferred by your company to Canada for working. You need to apply for the Cdn PR status in order to move to Canada. -- At higher level - File Cdn taxes and get foreign tax credit on your US return. You might need a tax consultant depending...

-- Yes, as long as you present the necessary documents proving your relationship (marriage certificate)

-- Yes -- The VFS office will advise you /give you the necessary information.

-- Not true. -- This is not necessary, you can start (and finish) your GC process while on TN. -- like what? I cannot think of anything that is risky. -- Not allowed - you are REQUIRED to submit your ORIGINAL passport to get a new valid passport - the Passport Canada office will not accept...

I have traveled out of north american continent as well as across the border to Canada. The rules are mentioned on the I-94 regarding how to hand it over.

-- No. Your valid TN (I-94) is good enough for re-entering the United States. You do not require consular visa. -- I always used to keep my TN (I-94) separate from my passport (to keep it away from the reach of the airline official) and used the same I-94 to come back to the US. Only once...

This should be ok. It is about where the work is done. To be safer, arrange the payment for your seminars (done in Canada) be deposited in Canada.

-- No. -- No. -- Yes.

You cannot have more than one status at any time. Your TN will be void as soon you are granted F status. I belive it is allowed to study part time while on TN.

Correction: you need a valid I797 with unexpired I-94 for the automatic visa revalidation.

Yes, there could be questions regarding your US green card. The answers to these questions will have an effect on the result of your citizenship application.

-- You will need a TN or H1B if you plan on working in the US (even if you live in Canada). As long as you have that, you will have no issues. I hope by "doing business", you mean working for your US employer.

If your employer is giving you what you want, you are all set then. What options do you want to know? Regarding traveling? Immigration status while in the US? If yes, how often do you intend to travel?

hee hee...this is really good! :-)

-- You will not find this documented anywhere, because this is implicit. Logically speaking, one can have only one "Permanent" residence and that is enforced by the border agents. There is no crime here (if this is what the border agent told you, he was going too far/trying to scare you)., but...

-- You should move out as soon as you can - within a reasonable time frame. A couple of weeks is okay, but a few months wouldn't be ok. There is no concrete time defined for this. -- I would recommend completing the move in one trip. Trying to get back to the US immediately would raise a lot...

What is the connection between your stay in Canada and the 90 day max stay in the US? What is this 90 day stay in the US and how is this connected with your 3 month stay in Canada? This does not make sense, can you please clarify?
