Help with I-129 for TN extension

I am filling out my I-129 form to extend my current TN. This is my first mail-in attempt (I have had about 6 or 7 at POE's). My questions are:

1. What is the 'classification symbol' (is that simply TN)?

2. It asks for 'basis for classification', so I checked '2.b-continuation of previously approved employment....', but then it says if I checked boxes 2b-f to give the "petition receipt number". What is that number? All I have is the I94 and copies of the paperwork I took to the border...

3. Then it asks for the 'prior petition or application number'? What is that?

4. When it asks if an immigrant petition has ever been filed for someone in this petition, does that include prior TN's? If so, do we answer yes and just explain the various TN's I've had with this company?

5. Then it asks 'Have you ever previously filed a petition for this person? Is this where I state previous TN's?

6. What do I put for the 'dates of intended employment? Do I put the dates that I expect the extended TN to have, or do I put todays date to the day the extended TN will expire?

Sorry about all the questions, but I knew this was the place to get answers. I tried searching but couldn't find the answers I was looking for. And the instructions for the form don't give details.

Thanks!

1. TN
2. Your I-94 number
3. Your I-94 number
4.Immigrant petition refers to a green card application. a TN is a non-immigrant petition. you should put NO
5.It sounds like your sponsoring company has never FILED a petition on your behalf before, so you would put NO. Next year if you do another mail-in, you would put YES.
6.Put the day after your current TN expires as the start date. Put the end date at 364 days from the start date.
 
4.Immigrant petition refers to a green card application. a TN is a non-immigrant petition. you should put NO

NOT TRUE. The immigrant petition is I-140 - a specific step in the GC application. LC is also a step toward the GC, but if it is filed, you can safely answer "NO" to this question, since it is not Immigrant Petition (even if it is a step towards getting a GC).

And not because whether the TN is an immigrant/non-immigrant petition should you answer "No" to this question - the answer should be based on facts (whether the I-140 has been applied for you or not).

TN visa Extension by mail

Hello Gunt,

I tried to find the NAICS code for computer system analyst but it is not there.

I found one for computer system design service ie 541512

when I ask my employer he said the code is 541511, but on NAICS list this code is for custom computer programming service.

Do you know what will be the correct code ?

Do you think this could become a reason for TN visa refusal?

Really appreciate your help.

Thanks
 
I-102

I am filling a I-129 form to renew my TN work permit for a third year at this same company I work for. I've already completed the I-129 form in addition of the "Nonimmigrant Classification Based on Free Trade Agreement-Supplement to Form I-129".

1. Are those documents the only one I need? Should I fill out a I-102?

2. I am 3 1/2 months away for my current TN expiration. If I send my documents now do I have enough time to get my renewed TN on time for Jan 3rd 2009?

Thank you for your precious help.

1. I-102 is to REPLACE a LOST I-94. Did you lose your I-94?

2. It should be, but it doesn't matter whether or not approval occurs before current TN expires. You remain in status for upto 240 days after expiry once you've filed.

Dear Felllows. This is gonna be my first renewal attempt ever and If possible I'd like to stay in the Country and don't need to go to Mexico just to apply for the extension. If I'm right filling the I-29 Form makes this possible and I do have some questions regard this topic.

1. Is this the only form I do have to fill in order to get my extension?
2. Who must fill the form, me or the company I work for?
3. Filling the form exclude the need sometime go to USA embassy in Mexico and get the renewal or do I have to go anyhow someday (physically) and fill the DS-160 Form?
4. My I-94 is due on 17 days and mi VISA expires in 40 days. If I send the I-29 Form am able to stay in the Country without problems? (because of the 240 days allowance)
5. Also my Passport expires in 2012, do I have to renew my Passport before apply for my visa extension so I'd be able to get 3 more years?

Thanks in advance.
