Each application, your TN and your EB Green Card, are supposed to be decided separately based on the merits of the application. Each application has separate criteria for approval.
If the CBP no longer considers your CSA duties meets the criteria of TN status, then your TN status will be revoked and you will be denied entry to US.

This is the main weakness of TN versus H1B. When entering on TN, each entry to the US, CPB can in theory "re-adjudicate" your TN status and potentially deny it. (I understand this is very rare, but your posts above show it is possible in your situation). When entering on H1B, the CPB cannot "re-adjudicate" your H1B status.

Your employer and employer's lawfirm obviously believe your education, experience and duties meet the criteria for EB Green Card (not sure if you filed EB2 or EB3, should not matter). I assume the I-140 has been approved and you are waiting for I-485 interview and approval.
During your I-485 interview you will be asked all the questions on the I-485 form, one of them being, "have you ever been denied a visa", to which you will have to answer "yes, I was denied TN status by CBP". It should not matter as the criteria for EB Green Card is different than TN status. Your I-140 was approved so you met the criteria for EB GC. But I am sure you will be nervous answering that question.

If you read my previous posts, I started on TN in 2015, tried to move to H1B in 2016 but was not picked in lottery, tried again to move to H1B in 2017 and was picked in lottery, but then issued RFE, then issued denial (specialty occupation). My company filed MTR and was ultimately approved H1B. Then the I-140 was filed and approved.
I had a similar question to my lawyer, "since my H1B was denied, will that jeopardize my GC application?"
He said, each application is decided separately, and since my I-140 was approved I should be fine.
But when it came to the actual Green Card interview and I was asked the question, "have you ever been denied a visa?", I was super nervous when I said, "yes, I was denied H1B, but it was ultimately approved", the interview did not even blink an eye, he just moved on to the next question. At the end of the interview he handed me a printout saying my GC was approved, wait for the card to be delivered in the mail.

The facts on my situation are different that your situation, so your choice.

If it were me, and I was so close to the finish line (GC interview), I would question if I really need to leave the US and re-enter one more time.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

Did a trip to Canada and back to US.
Just basic questions at the border and they let me through.

I think the previous officer was just rattling me. If i really didn't qualify, he would have cancelled it right there.
 
Got the GC approved :).
Did my 1st entry into the US with the sealed packages yesterday and my Passport was stamped for 1 year till i get the GC in mail.

Thanks everyone for guiding me through the process and being patient with my questions.
Special thanks to @nelsona :)

Regarding the step where my family have to move to US for I-485 filing stage, can you please elaborate as to why is it required?
I am trying to wrap my head around the below scenario.

Scenario:
I am in Seattle and my family is in Vancouver, Canada. They can come over and we can initiate the I-485.
Lets say they leave US and drive back to Vancouver.
As per my knowledge, the EAD arrives by mail and from there on we are good as i can take the EAD across the border and bring my family back to US as required.

Is there a point in the I-485 process where my family has to come back to US if they are in CAN?


Following is from the write up from one of the thread:
" 5) Do not leave the United States between step 4 and step 7. You can continue to work using your TN, but you cannot travel using your TN, nor can your TD dependants travel using their TD. Never apply for a new TN ever again. If you leave between steps 4 and 7, your I-485 will be considered abandoned, and you won't be eligible for a new TN. Basically if you leave at this point, you can't come back, unless you get some other kind of visa, (H1, L1, etc) and you'll have to re-file your I-485. Bad...bad...bad… "
What is step 4? The I40 or the PERM?
