TN Premium Processing response?

Hello, I filed I-129 for a TN application with the Premium Processing form on March 19 (they received the package on Mar 19). Am I supposed to get a notice of receipt or anything? Or does the premium processing app make that not necessary?

Where do the results get sent to when the processing is complete?

Thank you
 
For efficiency, USCIS will usually dismiss with the sending of a receipt notice in Premium cases, since the casae will be decided before the receipt is sent.

All information will be sent to the petitioner (your company) and/or its lawyer.

In rare instances an information copy is sent to the beneficiary.
 
That makes sense RE: the receipt number. I think the company put the head office address on the application, so this should be interesting tracking that down.
 
Good news I think. The company has the response. It is saying we didn't complete the 907 properly and that the receipt number needs to be filled in. I submitted the I-129 and the I-907 at the same time, and thus did not have a receipt number I think. Do we just fill it in with the receipt number and send it back? What would that mean for the actual TN status.

For the record, now that I have a receipt number, I get this on the on-line status page as USCIS:

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On March 27, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129 PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.
 
Thanks, nelsona. Interesting stuff going on! What does that mean as far as crossing the border without the actual renewed I-94 in my passport?
 
Is your old TN expired? If so, then you would better wait or else you've made your firm waste $1500. What do you think the point of Premium processing your petition was??? make-work project for lawyer?

If it isn't expired, then you can still re-enter on your old TN.
 
It expires in a couple of weeks. The point of premium processing was to get it done before the expiry. I do have the I-797C now, indicating receipt.
 
I filed the same application roughly the same time short of premium service. I send the documents on Mar 17, and they received it on Mar 20. When I got the receipt notice on Mar 26, I immediately entered it into the USCIS status webpage. Amazingly, it was approved. What a lightning speed!

I filed March 23 without premium processing and was approved March 29. I am blown away by how quickly that went through. Very nice.

The i-797c notice should have the new i-94 attached to it at the bottom. You just need that to staple with ur current i-94 in ur passport. Border agents usually take out the old i-94 and give u a new one once u enter US.
 
Just for future reference, if you mail in your extension, or send in the I-129 via email before your TN expires, you are automatically eligible to stay in TN status for 240 days while the paper work is going through - so no need to pay for premium processing unless you were planning to travel. Even if you travel, you can get a new TN when you are coming back in.
 
File I-129 for TN to service center

I have a question:

Who should file I-129 to service center, TN-applicant or employer?

Thanks.
 
Employer must file, as it is an employment based petition. When you cross the border, the employer is the petintioner, you are effectively the courier. Of course, this is reflected in the paperwork, there is no rule on who drops it in the mail or courier that I know of.
