Hi everyone,

As before, thanks for your responses - this is a very good forum, and most people here really seem to know what they are talking about.

I am almost done filling out my I-129 for extending my TN status (the first time I have done this by mail, it will be my 3rd TN). I have a few specific questions that I want to make sure that I am seeing the obvious correctly in filling out the form :)

1) Part 3- Information about the person, Question 2 - Date of last arrival. I want to confirm that this should be the last date that I entered the US, which was after Christmas holidays, rather than the date that I obtained my last TN, which was in May. I assume that it is the actual last travel date, but I want to ensure there is no funny interpretation.

2) Part 4- Processing Information, Question 4 - Are applications for replacement/initial I-94s being filed with this petition. Is a TN extension a replacement I-94? This one does confuse me even though it should be obvious.

3) Part 4- Processing information, Question 8 - If you indicated you were filing a new petitiion in part 2..... - Is a TN extension a new petition? Do I need to answer this question?

4) Part 5- Basic information - Attaching of the supplements. When mailing the form, do we exclude the blank supplements that are not required to be filled in, or does USCIS want to get all the blank supplement sheets?

5) Part 5 - Question 10, type of businees - Is this an indication of the type of busoness as in corporation, etc. or a description of what the company does?

Thanks for your help. I am getting comfortable with the answers, but i want to make sure I understand the form fully.

Dale.

Click to expand...
1. The last time you entered the US regardless of what the stamp in your passport or I-94 says.
2.answer no
3.You are filing for an extension, not a new petition. ignore the question
4.include only the supplement page that is for a TN.
5. use a two word or less description. (ie. finance, College, etc)
 
Application received March 23, approved March 29. Thanks for your help. This is a very helpful forum indeed.

Now for my passport....
 
Hi everyone,

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but I cannot find the answer to my questions after much searching. My question is related to my original thread.

I am about to have my employer send in my second TN extension by mail. I have questions on part 2, and part 4 again:


1) Part 2 #4 - Prior Petition. If the beneficiary is in the U.S. as a nonimmigrant and is applying tochange and/or extend his or her status, give the prior petition or application receipt #:

-Should this be my I-94 number or the application recipt number from the I-797A - Notice of Action?

2) Part 4- Processing information, Question 8 - If you indicated you were filing a new petitiion in part 2.....

- This is an extension so I am saying NO to this question... Just want to confirm...

2) Part 4- Processing information, Question 9 - Have you ever previously filed a petition for this person?

- Is this yes, because a previous I-129 to extend my status was filed, or No, because it is an extension of a previous TN, which at the start had no petition?

Sorry for the dumb questions - the use of the word petition with seemingly different/ambiguous meanings gets me when I am working through this.

Look forward to your responses.
Thanks!
Dale.
 
Hi Guys,
Thanks everyone helping each other to do TN extension.

I am trying to do EXTENSION for my 3rd TN. I don't know DALEK if you are doing E-file TN extension. Does E-file mean SENDING ALL information electroniclly through website or download ALL paper and still mail out paper to INS. I just wonder what's meaning of term about E-file.

My current TN will be expired on 07/15/2008. I don't know if I should do this right away. My 2nd took FOUR months to get it from INS. My 1st one got from POE, 2nd one got it from petition, 3rd one should be "extension", not "petition", right? ( does this matter if it is done by myself or lawyer)
I hope I can get your guys help, this is my first time doing this by myself. I must do right, otherwise, there is RISK INS will refuse the extension.

If someone could, please add my SKYPE account. My SKYPE account is rickylala2001. I'll not bother you anything, but ONLY asking TN-extension issue.

TKS, Karie
 
Dalek,
1. The application number.
2. Correct
3. Yes.

Ricky,

E-file means sending (and paying for) the initial form submission. After the form is e-filed, you will still have to send paper copies of any other information required.

An extension is a petition, It simply isn't a petition for NEW employemnt.
 
Sorry,i put WRONG skype account, it is rickylala2001.
Please help. Thanks.

nelson,
thanks for explanation. I'll do it with same employment.

How urgent can a petition that is not due until JULY !?

If its too much trouble hand it to your boss.
 
Nelsona,
I have to do this myself. My boss won't fill this for me. I know it sounds weird if mine due on July. How come I am so rush! However, i prefer to submit this paper early this year. And company has politic issue I should have my TN paper signed ASAP. I don't mean to rush your help, just I have situation here. Please help and your help is highly appreicated.
After this renew I'll also contribute my experience. I hope everyone could renew successful & no hassle to renew TN.
I found we only can renew ONE year but H-1 has three years with same petition fee(320/time, fee raised). This becomes heavy burden to me from now on.
 
Yes, I'm in CA.

I thought if you were in CA at the City of Industry office I would have given you a call. I'm in that area all the time.

ricky, could you perhaps limit your post to one thread? And maybe one list per thread.

We al;l have scroll buttons that can look at your question, no need to spam your own thread with same post over and over again.
 
Nelsona,
I am sorry to post several places about this filing question. BUT,i really need someone helps. If I have NO question I'll contribute my experience too. However, I DO have questions. And I hope people have experience who can help. Once I renew successful I'll come back to do contribution. Sorry again! I don't want to repeat same questions again & again. Just want to finish this ASAP!

One post, one set of questions please.

As isaid, when you post a dozen questions, we are reluctant to answer any; you are a professional after all.
