TN Letter (needed to get the TN status) is different than your offer letter. Your TN letter should describe your job duties and they should be related to your educational qualification. Your corporate attorney should be able to handle it. Not sure what this "pre-approval" is. Do you mean filing...

>>It doesn't say giddy-up and leave within 30 days after employment ends. Also, nowhere it says that one shouldn't do a search within this time frame. It is in your best interest to leave as soon as you can - that's all. If you need more time, then file I-539. But without filing I-539, being in...

1. Leave as soon as you can after your employment ends. This is a grey area - you should leave within reasonable time (e.g. ~30 days). I wouldn't recommend stretching it too much, unless you absolutely need to. 2. Yes, you can use I-539 to extend your status (change from TN to B2; if you do not...

>> EB1C wait time is about a year vs EB2 which is 12+ years for Indian origin applicants. Correct - That's what I was saying "EB1 wait time is less (about 1 year) than EB2 (10+ years)" You will not require foreign subsidiary experience / requirements if you have Ph.D. / solid research /...

Yes, pending I-130 will be an issue getting a TN.

>>But the wait time would still apply to me since I was born in India Yes, That's what I was saying in my very first response. But for EB1, the wait times are less as compared to EB2.

"The employer will not pay you until they find another project" - this method of employment (used to be called "being on the bench") is not legal anymore. 1. So when your project (and your pay) ends, your employment ends and you must leave US. 2. Yes 3. Yes, the new TN that lines up with your...

Yes, you can start your GC process while on TN (without applying for H1B). Many people in this forum have taken this route - check out the very first link on this forum: Curiousgeorge TN->GC link.

Yes, you are right about skipping PERM for L1A. But it could be faster to start your GC process (while on TN) without waiting for getting L1 (if waiting to get L1 is taking longer)

How do you think it will it "speed up" your process by being on "L" status? There is a long wait for India born people (Priority date) irrespective of their H or L status. You could start your process on any (H/L/TN) status.

If you are applying by mail (I-129), then you can apply up to 6 months in advance - that way you can use your valid passport as a proof of your Canadian citizenship. But if you apply in-person at the border (land/airport), you can apply only a few (couple?) weeks in advance in which case you...

Never happened to me.

1. yes 2. not necessary; just your TN approval notice is enough.

Yes, if they have a law firm that handles immigration matters.

1. Yes 2. Yes 3. don't know - but I have not seen any requirement of any specific timeline for degree evaluation.

It could raise doubts regarding the validity of your offer - since you "missed" the start date when you arrive on 1/19. Better to get the letter fixed.

Your spouse's (or even your) I-140 - pending or approved - has no effect on your TN status.

I suggest finding a job first with the matching TN category and your skillset and then apply for TN based on that.

The TN letter must have the (TN) Job Title along with the specific job responsibilities for the job offered. The attempt to obtain TN without any concrete job offer (to "market" you in the US job market, as you are saying) does not look right and could be fraudulent from the immigration...

1. Talk to your employer about this since they have filed an application that might have to be amended. 2. You can certainly go ahead for your TN - but if your H1 is activated (not just an approval notice) AFTER your TN approval, your TN becomes void - since you can be only on a single status...
