Filing for a new TN via mail rather than POE.
Have been in the US on my first TN for the last 3 years

Looking for some guidance on question 5. of I129 ...

Requested Action. (Check one):

a.Notify the office in Part 4 so the person(s) can obtain a visa or be admitted.
(NOTE: a petition is not required for an E-1, E-2 or R visa).

b.Change the person(s)' status and extend their stay since the person(s) are all now in the U.S. in another status (see instructions for limitations). This is
available only where you check "New Employment" in Item 2, above.

c.Extend the stay of the person(s) since they now hold this status.

d.Amend the stay of the person(s) since they now hold this status.

e. Extend the status of a nonimmigrant classification based on a Free Trade
Agreement. (See Free Trade Supplement for TN and H1B1 to Form I-129).

f. Change status to a nonimmigrant classification based on a Free Trade
Agreement. (See Free Trade Supplement for TN and H1B1 to Form I-129).


I'm thinking either c,d or e.
Not really sure.
 
What I understand from the words are:

NOT "C" because you don't hold that status once its expired (as you aware that its expired automatically after 1 year).

"C" is more like to me as you came in the country on Visitor status and you got the I-94 for 3 months, later you decided to extend your stay, and you apply to extend it for another 3 months (you still hold the B2 status until you are out of the country or six months passed)..

correct me if I am wrong.
 
Yeah, you are wrong. Completely wrong.

It is E because its a TN, and alerts the need for the supplement.

The poster's TN hasn't expired.
 
One question for all you fine folk and this may be obviuos but I just want a second opinion.

In Part 4 Question 8

If you indicated you were filing a new petition in Part 2, within the past seven years has any person in this petition:

a. Ever been given the classification you are now requesting? No Yes
b. Ever been denied the classification you are now requesting? No Yes

I would be inclined to indicated yes to A and no to B

Thoughts?
