Hello, new to the forum here.
Is the next scenario possible?
Get a TN visa through employer, and just afterwards (before TN visa expiration) apply for a H1B visa?
The reason being that a TN you can get in a matter of days, while the H1B is a matter of several months, and priority is to catch a particular (very attractive) position immediately before it's no longer available. And the reason for the H1B would be for a Green Card application.
SO, in summary have the H1B application running (which doesn't yet mean H1B non-immigrant status) WHILE having a non-immigrant status through the TN? Then if H1B is approved renounce the TN and continue with H1B?
Thanks a lot.
