TN Visa

Hi guys, I am new to this forum.

I am planning to apply for a TN visa. My parents and my brothers live in US and are US citizens. My father appiled for me under FB3 (over 21 and married) category but passed away last year. So I think my FB3 case is finished.

My question is would my mother's and my brothers' citizenship effect my chances to get TN visa.

I would really appreciate a reply on this.

Why not get them to file a N-600 a petition for alien relative and then you could come over that way. It would take longer, but no need to get a new TN every year since you would be a resident alien...
 
He can't use N-600, he NOT a US citizen, and has no claim to be.

If he were he would not have needed to apply for FB3.

Not him, his US citizen mother or brothers as he mentioned could file a N-600 on his behalf.

It would take a bit longer, but would at least give him permanency in the US compared to a TN if he's looking down the road.

Now maybe they only want it for a short duration though, but I would think since his family is there and are citizens and he wants to work in the US, it kind of makes sence to go for the N-600 rather then a TN down the road...
 
You've lost me. Nothing in his post indicates that he qualifies for N-600. I'm assuming that, like 1000's of others, some of his family moved to US when he was already an adult, and now he wants to as well. That is the whole point of FB3. Otherwise, he would already be a US citizen, since 2001, no?

N-600 does not 'grant' anything that isn't already his (ie. US citizenship).
 
I think you are confusing "petition for alien relative" I-130 for N-600.

He already filed I-130 (under FB3). His otehrrealtives could keep that one going, but this does not grant anything until PD is current --- and thus TN is still the way to go
 
Yeah I got that mixed up the I-130 I was thinking was something else and the N-600 was the I-130.

Couldn't his mother though take over the previous I-130 or re-file since the father died? TN would of course be almost immediate, but if he was over here on the TN and then have the mother re-file the I-130 would that cause him issues for his next TN similar to filing AOS?

This is just out of curiosity...
 
He already asked this question, and the answer is still no. And I already made your other suggestion.

Do you realize how many YEARS he will have to wait for an FB3 Green card? Its eight years right now.

Not your best output on this one warlord!

nelsona, warlord and TheRealCanadian, guys, thanx a lot for your time and replies.

I am taking more liberty now to ask few more questions and would really appreciate your response.

Q1. I have a case number and a priority date issued by USCIS on father's FB3 case (which I assume is closed now).

If my mother applies for me in FB3, or if my brother applies under FB4, can I use the priority date issued to the FB3 case applied by my father (as TheRealCanadian mentioned)?

Q2. I have a mechanical Engg and MBA degree, can I apply under the system analyst category for TN visa? I have worked as a system analyst in Canada.

Q3. My TN visa job is in Chicago, can I go to Peace bridge and get my TN visa from there and go to Chicago by air later. Or do I have to go to Detroit border and then go to Chicago?
 
1, For the fourth time, yes.
2, Doubtful, unless you have SEVERAL computer analyst courses in your degree.
3, Either.
 
dear nelsona, thanx a lot for your replies and for your patience.:D

1, For the fourth time, yes. (sorry to bother you so many times:D)
Q1. What should I do now? Let my mother apply for me in FB3 category, but how does this old priority date, which was Dec 2001, becomes effective? My mother consulted an immigration lawyer but he never mentioned any such thing.

2, Doubtful, unless you have SEVERAL computer analyst courses in your degree.
Q2. No I don't have many CSA courses, but i have worked on manufacturing and material control systems that require both mechanical and Finace knowledge. How about if I apply as mechanical engineer?

3, Either.
Q3. I have heard that if any TN holder doesn't show their intention to go at the time they get visa, their visa is refused. True?

Was the earlier I-130 approved before your father's death?

I don't know, how can I find it?

All I know that USCIS issued a case number and a priority date.

So, it is unlikley that you will get a TN for CSA.
 
TRC, I checked the case status from USCIS and here's what I got.

Application Type: I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On June 21, 2006, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

What does this mean?
