Can TN holder get $8000 tax credit as a first time home buyer?

These are questions for another board. Portability of I-140 is not a right unless you have an I-485 filed and pending 180 days . Until then the petitioner/sponsor can withdraw I-140 if they wish.

I hope you did not hire on to this firm on the basis of getting GC. You may simply have to content yourself with a series of temp jobs until you eventually go back to canada.

Yup, without a 4 yr degree manoevuring into an H1B is more difficult until you get the additional 4 or 8 years experience to make up the 4 yr education requirement.
It's difficult but by no means impossible.
As for the house, if this is your first US home purchase, you should look at FHA loans. 5% down is the minimum requirement although they do have purchase price maximums dependent on which area you live in in the US.
The great thing about home ownership is the tax advantages you get and from what I can see the current administration is trying its damndest to make it less expensive than ever to own a home.
When I was in the US home ownership, and the associated tax writeoffs, kept my yearly income tax below 10%.
 
All these tax credit stuff make me really confused. There are many restrictions and things depend on what we need to claim. But I think its a good idea from the government.
