It is then applicable to Mexican citizens, since they do require consular visas.

While it is possible to apply for a TD visa at any US embassy (in Canada or out of Canada), the TN status cannot be applied for in embassy/consulate.

There is nothing that I can think of that can stop you from filing concurrently if your PD is current. If you are not eligible for I-140 premium processing, file concurrently with a copy of your previous I-140 approval to recapture your PD. I would talk to the attorney to see if there is any...

I would suggest filing for I-140 first without filing concurrently. File for I-140 requesting the PD recapture from your previous I-140 petition (submit a copy of your previous I-140 approval).
