How should one proceed if EAD has not been received even after more than three months of application date. Can one travel with Advance Parole Document if the TN visa has expired and EAD pending. Thanks.

Hi All, Thanks for all the good advice I recieved from this forum. I was able to convince my employer to sign my I-129. I sent in my I-129 a week before my TN expiration which was Oct 24th. I was hoping to recieve my EAD and Advance Parole documents theoretically by Nov 5th, the three...

My Union has asked me to have a lawyer prepare all the paperwork and they will try to persuade the employer to sign it. Lets see how it goes.

How much can submitting an I-129 normally cost in terms of lawyer fee on the US East coast. Will appreciate if you share your experience.

If HR refuses to sign the I-129 petition but is willing to offer me a renewal of contract letter, like they do every year, can I submit I-129 on my own. Once I have the receipt, I can use that to validate 240 grace period rule. Can I go to any court to get a "stay" on 240 day grace so that...

Yes I agree. But human nature is the same every where. HR's attitude is a great lesson and a reminder that power has major blind spots. What surprises me the most (altho I believe in the irony of it all) is that many immigrants (in the land of the immigrants) face the same problems with no...

Thanks for all your replies. I guess trying to educate the HR is my best bet at this point and show them the relevant official information regarding mailing TN renewal and 240 day grace period. I was trying to find the mention of 240 day grace period after filing I-129 on USCIS site but have not...

What if I take my self off from the I-485 application, get a letter of renewal from my employer, go across the border and renew my TN and save my job. My rationale is that if I loose my job, I also loose my mortgage and my house. My wife is the primary applicant. Will she still get her I-485...

My wife's lawyer says that until I have the HR department agree to file an I-129, there is nothing that can be done. The HR department will issue me a TN renewal letter for sure like they always do every year. But when it comes to filing an I-129, they are reluctant. So I guess I am stuck. O...

Maybe I should ask my employer for going on leave without pay. Someone suggested that it is possible to go the US Customs and Immigration authorities (say Niagara Falls) without crossing the border into Canada and ask to renew the TN. Has anyone heard of such a thing. Thanks. UofT-Librarian

Hi, This is my first post. I was wondering if I could get some help on TN issues. I have been on TN status for the last seven years in NY and have also submitted my I-485 on August 5th, 2007. My TN expires Oct 24th, 2007. Since I cannot leave US now, I asked my employer to sign my I-129 form...
