I've done it once; took about 10-15 days. Doing it now again also curious about the "very exhausting story about this saga"

Tnmember -- why do you think your renewal will be rejected? And how did you end up on TN and H1B at the same time?

Apparently it was a close call: see story JUST IN Trump says he was ready to "terminate" NAFTA — but then he spoke to Canada and Mexico "I was going to terminate NAFTA as of two or three days from now," Trump said, speaking in the Oval Office with the president of Argentina. But then, he...

No order has issued yet and it sounds like it may never This is very odd -- just 1-2 months ago, Trump's admin said that they weren't going to change very much with respect to Canada. Now this week, Canada seems like enemy #1

Thanks nelsona -- but do you see anything wrong with my proposed plan in points 1) and 3) or do you recommend any changes to it?

What about the concern by the original poster about "I am worried as I read in this forum that too many TN requests will cause problem with poe officers." Or do you think 4/5 years on TN is not a reason to think another TN will be denied at all?

I have been on TN for about five years now. I am looking to get a EB2 green card. My employer recommends doing H1B, but I understand from this site that TN -> GC is possible. However, I was also born in India/China (won't say which) and the EB2 backlog is longer than the 3 year term of the TN...

Nope. But I'll try to post updates in this thread if/when things happen.

CBC news with an article on TN visas under Trump: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/canadians-working-california-nafta-1.3855661 In short, it just expresses the anxieties of many current TN holders Been following the Trump news closely; the focus of any re-negotiations appears centered on...

http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/15/politics/donald-trump-trade-memo-transition/index.html Trump transition team's memo on the first 200 days focuses on renegotiating or ending NAFTA. It begins.... More seriously, we'll see where this goes. The memo acknowledges that it's preliminary in nature...

Been sh**ting my pants thinking about this very issue. Realistically, I think the aspect of NAFTA that Trump and Congress are most concerned with is manufacturing jobs going to Mexico. To a lesser degree, they are also concerned about Mexican TNs resulting in overstays and thus illegals. So...

Thanks. Do you mind telling me the definitive answers so I'll know them? Everything that I read suggests that it's discretionary and USCIS will exercise its own judgment on length for each case. Do you know of anyone whose been rejected due to a TN duration that was deemed too long?

Can you or someone link to that thread from Curious George, or the memos? Is there a general consensus that an I-140 petition (filed or approved) should have no impact on future TN status applications?

Are there any stats or at least anecdotal evidence on how many times (or equivalently years) a TN visa be renewed for? I'm on my third TN visa now, covering nearly 5 years. My next renewal is due in 2 years, but I'm wondering if I should strongly consider moving to H1B -- which itself is hard...

Living in the US as a student and will be working on a TN soon. Let's say I get rejected at the POE for whatever reason; can I still enter the US as a tourist/no-Visa status? I'd be doing it cuz my apartment, etc. are all in the US and at the very least, I'd have a return flight scheduled to...

On non-immigrant intent: if you have few/no ties to Canada, what are you supposed to say when they ask about your non-immigrant intent?

1. What roughly is the % of TN-Visa applications done at POE's that get denied (or accepted)? 2. Are certain POE places known to be better/worse? In particular, Toronto, Vancouver, and Ottawa airports? 3. Is there a particular day/time where your odds are higher 4. Do border officials...

Yes, but can you go anywhere? E.g. if your TN-job is in New York, can you enter with a plane ticket going to Dallas

What if the I-94 doesn't show a date? But aren't you out of status once you quit your job/academic program upon which you are on a J-1?

So if I quit my job (working on a J-1), do I only have 30 days after quitting to leave the country? Or 30 days after the previously scheduled term expiration?
