TN renewal through mail or POE

[sunshine2006]

Hi,

I have heard that TN renewal through mail is much easier process than going through port of entry (POE). Is this true? and if so, how hard is through POE. Do they have more denials?

Last time i got my TN from POE and it wasn't that bad, but from what i have heard in the past, people have informed me that the officers really grind you in the interview for TN visa @ POE. Is this true? This will be my first TN renewal and i don't want to wait 4-5 months to get a renewal through mail. Nonetheless, if it is too hectic and if there are higher chances of being rejected through POE, then unfortunately i will prefer the waiting pd (mail-in-process)

What do you guys suggest?

My another concern is that my job is in other category than my degree. For ex, my job is in the IT sector (system analyst) and my degree is in Mathematics. Is this going to pose any problem in obtaining TN. BTW i didn't have any problem in the first time around getting TN. The officer didn't even ask even one question pertaining to my mathematics degree.

-- Main in renewal is less hectic.

and if so, how hard is through POE. Do they have more denials?

-- Depends on your case and the paperwork you have (and also the officer)

-- If your degree and the job does not match (and if they did not ask you anything about it), you are lucky.

-- My personal opinion - do the main-in renewal with premium processing.

Mail-in renewals are actually harder because the adjudicators are rarely fooled by a grey case. The officers at the POE sometime let grey cases through. so if you think your case is somewhat not so clear cut, then you should avoid a mail-in.

renewal the TN at the port

Hi. If I get a trouble or return to Canada at the port, I could apply my TN visa again by next day or the other day. Anyone has this experience too. Please advise.
