-- The officer at the POE can see your husband's previous/current status in their system - no need to be concerned about that!

-- Documents for the "border TN" should always be Original - because they need to see the originals (they do not keep them). It is always a good idea to keep copies if they ask (in my case, the officer made copies of the Originals before returning them to me). The "mail-in" should always use the...

- Were you previously on TN and then you accepted a new job offer (that required TN)? - Did you already have a (consular) TN visa that was valid at that point? If answer to both these questions is "yes", then most likely your lawyer asked you not to appear for the new (consular) visa - since...

-- *Most likely* you will visit the US customs office. Usually there is a parking lot - you park the car on the US side and go inside the office for any questions. Why do you want to drive 5 hours to San Diego? You could call Nogales to confirm about TN application and go there - it is about an...

-- POE will be quicker - especially if you are in Phoenix. Any approach is ok as long as your paperwork / documents are in order. -- Mail option is better if you are worried about facing the officer (Though I doubt this question will be asked - My TNs were approved - both at the border and by...

-- I had the diploma when I was applying for the TN - but did not have it initially when my previous employer wanted to make sure that I had completed my degree requirements. That letter was useful while applying for my TN. So the letter indeed served purpose in my case. In OP's case, the...

-- Check with your department, I had a letter from my department stating that I had completed all the requirements for the degree in that department. This was prior to my convocation, since the official diploma was not available then. I produced that letter when the immigration officer asked...

We don't want to go to "another thing" - The CS degree is not an engineering degree - does not matter who runs it - that's it! Like what Nelson said "you do have to have an engineering degree to work as an engineer under TN".

The Computer Science department is a separate department and does NOT come under any other department. Your post is rather confusing than clarifying!

-- Your TN for "X" does not get cancelled because of your new TN for "Y". That said, you can still work for "X" with your existing TN (that was issued to work for "X").

No issues, I have traveled to and from Calgary while in your situation.

-- That means you are no longer on TN after 365 days, for the next 3 months. You either leave the US and come back after 3 months (on a new TN) or apply for change of status (to B2) and then get a new TN once you are ready to join your job.

-- It is exactly the other way. The I-94 date is more important - one can stay in the country as long as the I-94 is valid, even if the visa expires. You become out of status after the expiry of your I-94.

It is possible to go from 2) to 1) by filling form I-824. I am not sure if 1) to 2) is possible.

-- Yes.

She will need a new visa only after the expiry of her current visa. She is tied to your TN status and therefore as long as you are on TN and her existing visa is valid, she does not need a new visa.

-- Yes.

-- No, your first TN is still valid. (You will have two valid TNs) -- You are allowed to work for your current employer as long as the TN status for that employer is valid.

-- Yes, if it is/was valid for 5 years (and it seems so in your case).

If you read the simplified form carefully, you will notice that no guarantor is needed and there is a section for your credit card information.
