I'm a Canadian citizen. Graduated with b.arch degree. I have two jobs. 9-5 and a part time, both approved tn statuses
Two weeks ago I was offered a new position at another company as an assistant project manager (9-5pm).
I took all the necessarily documents to peace bridge where I was denied by an officer who had valid points about how my roles do not aligned to my education. Fair enough.
What I did wrong was I told him that I quit my current job and my last day is upcoming Friday. He said I have 10 days from that Friday to leave the country and said he would let me back in.
I then showed him my other tn which was valid until 2019. With that employment, he looked through my tax return and saw that I had income as self employment (1099). He said I can't be self employed under TN. I tried to explain to him that I properly applied this company with CBP with my tn status and that I had no control over which way I was getting paid.
He revoked both of my TNs and said I can not enter the us today. Took me to the back and fingerprinted me and took a picture of me.
Lastly he made me swear on the I-877 and then escorted me back to Canada.
1. What is your best advice on how to proceed this?
2. I had a consult with someone and he said I could try to get my tn revocation reversed so I can at least finish my current job which ends this Friday.
3. If I am able to enter this week, after finishing my current employment, I plan to get a improved document and supporting letter for my new employer and I plan to go back to the same port and see if I can get approved.
4. Not sure about my part time job as they have said I violated NAFTA because I am self employed.
What are your thoughts?
Looking forward to hearing back from you all.
Thanks so much,
