Would speaking to the officer's supervisor help resolving issues like this?

Blaine-Pacific Highway is generally more popular with TN than Peace Arch. You can also try the Sumas port of entry. I got a TN from there last year.

Unfortunately, the border officer is the other way around. They understand their white I-94 form very well but inexperienced with I-94 attached on I-797. They think the I-94 attached on I-797 is not good enough, only their white I-94 is the valid TN document. I've had similiar experience as...

While employment in the US without authorization is illegal, volunteering is allowed. Since the poster never got paid by the individual he/she worked for, the work should be considered voluntary which is legal.

According to the occupational outlook handbook for computer system analyst, "For jobs in a business environment, employers often seek applicants with at least a bachelor's degree in a business-related field such as management information systems (MIS). Increasingly, employers are seeking...

Yes, they are different. Go to the truck crossing POE. It's also called Pacific Highway.

A lot of people go to Blaine (Truck Crossing) POE for TN. It is a very busy POE. You can try Sumas POE. I got a TN as a Computer System Analyst from there 4 months ago without any problem. It's a lot quieter than Blaine. Make sure you go during normal business hour so you'll likely be...

NAFTA regulations never specify the field of study for CSA. It is left for CBP and CIS to determine. All I'm saying is that it is possible to get a TN in CSA category with an EE degree but one should be careful and prepared to present further evidence to support his/her case. As far as the...

Unfortunately, not all lawyers are competent when it comes to TN. The OP is actually quite smart to get a second opinion from experienced TN veterans.

General public does not have access to CBP or CIS's internal field manual. OOH is the standard reference that a TN prospect uses to determine wheather the job and the candidate's qualification meets the requirements for TN. Since OOH states that engineering is an acceptable field of study, I...

This is not true. I got three TNs in CSA category with a bechelor degree in EE both at border and by mail. The OOH clearly states that engineering is an acceptable field of study for CSA. You can find more information about CSA through the following link: http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos287.htm...

TNers don't need to maintain ties to their home country which makes perfect sense. How do you maintain ties to your home country when you are living and working in US? Concerned, with all respect, as a US citizen who never lived in a foreign country, I can see why it is difficult for you to...

This is correct. You'd better pray that your spouse enters Canada as an immigrant before you leave for US.

Both you and your wife can go to the border together before your I-94s expire (Feb 27) and apply for TN and TD at the same time. As long as your wife's visa is valid on the day you guys apply for entry, she will be fine. If you get your TN, she'll also get a new TD I-94 with the same expiry...

I'm reporting one here. When my wife came back to US from overseas three months ago, the CBP officer told her she can only have her TD valid up to the expiration date of her passport which is 1.5 years earlier than the expiration of my TN. He even checked my passport to make sure that my...

Since your wife is not a Canadian citizen, she will have to get a TD visa stamped on her passport from a US consulate outside of US. This is what you'll need to do: 1. You go to a US port of entry to apply for your TN. 2. If you get your TN successfully, book a TD visa appointment at the US...

Check if it falls under H1B.

Were you at Blaine, WA POE? I was there a few months ago trying to apply for a new TD I-94 for my wife based on my approved mail-in TN. The CBP officers there don't seem to be very well educated on mail-in TN. They think you always need to take your I-797 form to the border to have them...

This is not entirely correct. If you are a Canadian citizen and your wife is accompanying you outside of Canada, then her permanent resident status is always maintained. You can check out the following site from Citizenship and Immigration Canada...

It took me and my wife about a month to get all the paper work ready and two months for Canadian government to approve my wife's immigrant visa. I sponsored her from China while I am in USA. As far as the Cdn income goes, as Nelson said, Canadian government does not really care the source of...
