TN Renewal or Extension

Hello All.

I am on a TN and my visa is to expire in June 2021. I have a few questions.
There is no change in employer.

1. Should I apply for TN Renewal as a fresh TN or go in for TN Extension.
2. I have 5 months left, Can I get my renewal now by going to the border?
 
1. By mail it would be an extension. If you go to border, it is a fresh petition. There is no such thing as "renewal".
2. No. you could begin the extension process by mail now, but border petition would only be in the last month or so before expiry.
 
Thanks much Nelsona. for mail-in application, my employer will not apply for i129,
Is it possible for me to apply?
 
They need to sign the documents (I-129 and letter). If it is matter of not wanting to pay, then you have to decide if you want to pay for I-129 (which you can), or pay for trip outside US a few months from now.
 
I work full time for the state and they do not do the i129.
What are the documents that I need to take to the border?
Is the initial job offer letter that I received during employment enough?
 
You need a new, current letter, along with the other documents you took the first time.
