TN Renewal - help needed

simsd said:
Tell your employer you will e-file....actually they are supposed to do it, but it's the same information you put on the hand written application. The signature is just typed in. You can pay by credit card and it's fast. MOst employers don't know much about this stuff and usually just ask the employee to take care of it and they'll sign whatever needs signing.

If you efile all you have to do is let the signatory know you're putting his/her name in that space. It shouldn't be big deal.

Most of the time the processors are looking for completeness and and just trying to move the paper along. If you were approved once then there are not a lot of reasons to question it.

I'm going through the e-filing now and that's what I was wondering - It asks me to choose from either "I am filing the form for myself or to assist someone" or "I am a Qualified Attorney or Organization Representative" - I know in paper-based filing the company Rep is supposed to be the one to prepare and sign for it, so does that mean I should e-file as the company Rep as well (and notifying the employer)? Or does it not make a difference if I chose "I am filing the form for myself"?

also, the paper-form asks for a Supplement to I-129 - that's not necessary for e-filing, is it?

thanks so much!! :confused:
 
Lily Lu,
Go checking the subject on "TN Mail In Approved", talk with John, he filed himself and got approval. I will do it next year myself.
Hope everything is fine and you get approval extension.
Good Luck

Karie - thx for the suggestion and I have indeed read the post but John did it via paper not e-file (which is what i'm trying to do), and they are slightly different from each other in terms of procedure.
 
Lily,
Let me know the E-file, I want to know about. I'll try to do E-FILE next year. Any save lawyer fee.
Thanks in advance.

I can't see the e-file form because I would have to log in and create a new I-129 application.

I believe "Organization Rep" is the correct one. You have to remember that this for is used for a few purposes. So you have to think of it from the point of view that you are the employer and filing the form for an employee (yourself in this case).

I know it's a little confusing but everything will be fine. I believe the supplement is the form that needs to be filed if you are a lawyer (I-907 I believe) filing for someone.
 
I e-filed my application and mailed over the supporting documents on 9/5 - now I'm just keeping my fingers crossed and will keep everybody posted when I receive it! :)

Lily,

It was easy, wasn't it. Piece of cake, right?

Oh sure, except the part where my heart was pounding when I read the statement that basically said once you click Submit they will take away $320 and no refund is possible even if there's a server error. Right now the processing time is estimated at 2 months - which is probably what you can only hope for...oh good times! :cool:
 
i wouldnt jump on the electronic filing other than change of address. they cant even do their own work. never mind coming up with a reliable system.
