I am currently working on a TN1 and am interested in getting a green card. Here's a bit of my background - I got my Canadian citizenship in March 2006, before which I had Indian citizen. I worked in US from 1999 till 2001 on an H1. I got Canadian permanent residency and moved to Canada in 2001.
My sister and her family are in the US and I am interested in pursuing family based greencard through her until I can find an employer who will sponsor my gc.
I have a few questions relating to I-130 form
"Item C- Information about your relative"
2. address _ Should I give US or Canadian address?
9. U. S. Social Security Number - I have a SSN from working here on H1 - I should give this.
10. Alien registration number – I understand I will get one only after the process starts.
13. Has your relative ever been in the U.S.?
14. If your relative is currently in the U.S., complete the following:
He or she arrived as a:
Date authorized stay expired, or will expire,as shown on Form I-94 or I-95
15. Name and address of present employer
Date this employment began
For Items no 13, 14 and 15 - I worked here on H1 earlier. If I pursue this option and mention that I am on a TN1, will this considered dual intent? Will this adversely affect my future TN. What is the expected timeline for this family based GC. Will this clash with employment based, whenever I start that process?
I also have another question. Can I use any unused portuion of my H1? This might make it easier for pursuing employment based GC.
I would greatly appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
