True. One thing that pissed me off was that, in the officer's childish power trip, he wrote "VOID" over my expired visa. I hope that doesn't confuse future officers at the point-of-entry when trying to explain that AVR applies to me. I really don't like when officers get in power trips. I...

Nevermind, I found the information as to what the Automatic Visa Revalidation rule is: http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=224525&postcount=8 So, I guess I should be able to come back and forth on an expired visa, so long I have a valid I-797A with a current I-94. Hmm, I think...

AVR? It sounds familiar, the guy that yelled at me said that b/c I hadn't left for longer than 30 days (my trips are normally 5 to 7 days), that I should not have surrendered my I-94, or something like that. Something about how if you leave for less than 30 days, you get re-instated or something...

The visa stamp for my previous employer is on my passport, but is is expired. So, I guess I do need one huh? Ugh, I wish I could do this without having to go abroad to go get it! Going to U.S. consular offices abroad sucks. I feel like we are treated like cattle. :-/

Thanks for your reply! Is there a way to get the visa stamp while in the US, or do I always need to go abroad to get it?

Scary experience re-entering the US with a TN - what did I do wrong? So, this is my second employer that I have a TN for. I have a current TN (expires September of 2008) that my current employer field for via mail, while still in the US, while still working for my previous employer (I switched...

Oh I think it's great, I just didn't know :) So, if I'm on a TN what does my employer need to do to get me a GC? Id this the same as the "labor certification" process?

One more question. How do you do international travel with a renewed TN visa? It is my understanding that you need to surrender your I-94 form as you are leaving the US. If after a renewal, all you have is an I-94, and then you give it up, how does the immigration officer at the airport know...

Warlord, I hope someone does clarify. I thought a TN visa was a non-immigrant intent status and therefore, no way to go from a TN to GC?

Thanks for all your help :)

Thanks I was just curious. I'm not planning to travel until the renewal is complete. Also, what do you get when you renew the TN? Right now I have a full page visa on my passport. This is my first year in a TN status, sorry for the newbie question. :)

Thanks for your reply :) So, can you continue to work in those 240 days of grace period? How about traveling abroad? I'm just curious.

Hi, I'm in a Mexican citizen in a TN status which my employer is currently renewing (expires April 19, 2007, but they are doing premium processing). 1) They are filing premium processing for the renewal next week. Is that too late? 2) What is the best way to go to switch from a TN to an...

was wondering if anyone had any ideas on my situation. I'm a Mexican citizen presently working in the US after coming to school here on an F-1 visa -> F-1 Practical training. I got married (legitimately) at the end of my practical training. I then applied for an adjustment of status so, I...
