Hi all,
I'm in a bit of a weird situation here. I'm working as a consultant (Company A) in the client's offices (Company B). Company A sponsored me for a TN2 visa so I could work in the USA. Got an offer for another company (Company C) to be hired directly under them, which is in the process of using I-129 to get me sponsored. However, the client (Company B) knows about this change and is willing to do a counter offer to try to hire me directly and keep me working for them, but now employed directly.
The questions here would be:
1.- If this is advisable, what's the best time to do it? Once the I-129 requested by Company C is completed should Company B do the same? Or should they try to intercept the request and cancel the previous one? I'd obviously be wary of anything that leaves me with no stable status so if the latter is correct I would rather not risk it. Note that I do not know if the I-129 has been submitted, but I assume it has.
2.- If this is not advisable given that the request *may* already be underway, is there any period of time I would need to wait for another TN Visa change to happen?
Thank you very much for taking the time to review my post. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.
