I-129 e-form question, please help me out

[chen7834]

Hi,
I am canadian citizen. I am working for a company in states. This is the first time I renew my TN visa. I am not going to travel to border to renew it. My company assigned a law office to file the extension of my TN visa. Today the law office asked me to fill an E-form online. The form is pretty much like I-129. In the form, I got confused by some questions :
1. Alien Number
(My answer is 1. since I am the only guy to renew TN. correct?)
2. Visa Requested Action
There are 5 choices:
(1) Notify the office in Part 4 of I-129 form, so the person(s) can obtain a visa or be admitted.
(2) Change the person(s)' status and extend their stay since the person(s) are all now in the U.S. in another status.
(3) Extend the stay of the person(s) since they now hold this status.
(4) Amend the stay of the person(s) since they now hold this status.
(5) Extend the status of a nonimmigrant classification based on a Free Trade Agreement.
(6) Change status to a nonimmigrant classification based on a Free Trade Agreement.
my answer is (5). is this correct?

3 Where do you want to apply or be inspected for visa?
there are 3 choices:
(1) Consulate
(2) Port of Entry
(3) Pre-flight inspection
(should I choose (3)?)
4 Consulate/Inspection City
( Is this the city I am living in now? I am living in Kansas city)
5 Applying/Inspection State or Country
(Is this Kansas or just USA?)
6.Requested Nonimmigrant Classification
(Is this TN?)
7 Basis for Classification
There are 6 choices
(1) New employment
(2) Continuation of previously approved employment without change with the same employer
(3) Change in previously approved employed
(4) Concurrent Employment
(5) Change of employer
(6) Amended petition
(my answer is (2), correct?)

8 If you selected other than "New Employment" in Basis for Classification, give the petition receipt number
(I don’t know what’s the number)
9 Petition's Receipt Number Information
Receipt #:
(I don’t know what’s the number)
I searched on this forum, for question 8 and question 9, the answer is N/A. I think N/A is right since I don't have a petition number. for other questions,could anybody please help me out.
Thank you very much!!!!

I just searched on web for the same questions you asked and found you posted here. I have the same situation as you.
For most of your questions, I think you answer is correct. For question 3, 4,5; I don't know. I just need someone help on these question too since I am already in US. Hope someone in this forum can help us.

1. Alien Number
(My answer is 1. since I am the only guy to renew TN. correct?)

They are referring here to your alien registration number or A-number. Probably the correct answer is N/A. Most TN applicants wouldn't have one. If you previously applied for or received a green card which you subsequently abandoned, you would need to report the A-number on future TN applications. But that's not the usual situation for a TN--the usual situation for a TN is N/A.

2. Visa Requested Action
There are 5 choices:
(1) Notify the office in Part 4 of I-129 form, so the person(s) can obtain a visa or be admitted.
(2) Change the person(s)' status and extend their stay since the person(s) are all now in the U.S. in another status.
(3) Extend the stay of the person(s) since they now hold this status.
(4) Amend the stay of the person(s) since they now hold this status.
(5) Extend the status of a nonimmigrant classification based on a Free Trade Agreement.
(6) Change status to a nonimmigrant classification based on a Free Trade Agreement.
my answer is (5). is this correct?

Others may correct me but I believe you'd pick (3) here. I believe that (5) and (6) refer to H-1B's who have special quotas due to a Free Trade Agreement, not to TN's. But I could be mistaken.

3 Where do you want to apply or be inspected for visa?
there are 3 choices:
(1) Consulate
(2) Port of Entry
(3) Pre-flight inspection
(should I choose (3)?)

I don't think it matters much. Don't pick (1) as you won't be applying for a visa at a consulate. Pick (2) or (3) based on whether you are likely to enter next via land or air--but I really think it matters not at all if you turn out to be wrong.

4 Consulate/Inspection City
( Is this the city I am living in now? I am living in Kansas city)
5 Applying/Inspection State or Country
(Is this Kansas or just USA?)

The city/state/country where you are most likely to be inspected on your next entry. Eg. Montreal, Canada if you will enter via PFI at Dorval; Detroit, Michigan if you will enter via the Ambassador Bridge. But, again, it does not matter at all if you enter a different way.

6.Requested Nonimmigrant Classification
(Is this TN?)

Yes.

7 Basis for Classification
There are 6 choices
(1) New employment
(2) Continuation of previously approved employment without change with the same employer
(3) Change in previously approved employed
(4) Concurrent Employment
(5) Change of employer
(6) Amended petition
(my answer is (2), correct?)

Yes.

Just to correct a couple of points (the rest is fine).

You are requesting extension of status based on Free Trade Agreement. You need to make this choice as it will kick you into the required supplemental info sheet for TN.

.. and as was brought out, the 'inspection' section is unimportant, just pick and airport ot POE that you are familiar with. You are going to get your renewal by mail.
