TN-1 renewal

reagen said:Hi, List,
May I submit TN-1 renewal on a form 1-129 by mail less than 45 days before the employment begins?
Thanks !
How are you going to "renew" the TN before the employment "begins?" You have to be working already in order to renew / extend the TN status.
If this is for the new employment (and a new TN for that), you may do that. But do not expect to get it approved within 45 days - unless you apply using premium processing.
yes you can submit a renewal by mail with 40 days left before your current TN expires. You will most likely not receive an approval notice for 3-5 months as the VSC service center is very slow right now. But is not a concern because once you file the renewal you are entitled to work past the expiry of you current TN for a 240 day grace period.
Thank you very much for your response. I still have some questions about TN renewal:
1) In the Nebraska center website, it is showing the processing dates for TN is just about April 18, 2006, it looks I have to wait more than 6 months. Is it true?

2) If I cannot get a renewed TN visa after 240 days grace period. what should I do? Do I have to go to border before 240 days is finished.
3) Should I file I-539 for the dependents when filing I-129 online?
Thank you in advence.

All TN petitions are now sent to Vermont, not Nebraskareagen said:1) In the Nebraska center website, it is showing the processing dates for TN is just about April 18, 2006, it looks I have to wait more than 6 months. Is it true?
I have yet to hear about a petition that wasn't processed in less than 240 days. HOwever, if this were to happen you could go to the border on the 239th day and get a new one.reagen said:2) If I cannot get a renewed TN visa after 240 days grace period. what should I do?

yes, and remember that if you file online, you still have to send all the supporting documents in the mail so filing online isn't really much help.reagen said:3) Should I file I-539 for the dependents when filing I-129 online?
You guys say there is a 240 grace period for a TN renewal, Is there any grace period for a first time TN?
I did not understand your question - what do you mean by grace period for a first time TN? If you do not have a TN initially, i.e. when you do not have a status, what grace period are you referring to?
