Help please.

I am kind of desperate, my TN2 visa is pretty close to expire, I need to renew it for the first time, but neither my employer nor myself know how to prepare and send my visa renewal to the USCIS. I am working and living in the USA and due to my job I do not have plans to go back to my country.

Can anyone send me the steps to renew my visa? Can anyone give me formal consultation about this? I will appreciate your responses.

Sincerely
 
Let's be claer. USCIS cannot renew your VISA from within US. This can only be done at consulate, by the State department.

You can extend your TN status, by submitting an I-129 for TN with USCIS. The I-129 would be almost identical to the one you submitted initially.

Thank you for the clarification. I got my TN2 in the U.S. Embassy located in Mexico City. Within all the documents I delivered to the Embassy there is not an I-129. I had a package with the Employer Support Letter, My Educational Qualifications, the Petitioner’s Supporting Documentation and my DS-160 that I filled and submitted online.

Where can I get this form (I-129)? Can my employer submit I-129 to the USCIS? Do I need to attach additional information/documents? Thank you again for your help.
 
The I-129 form and instructions are found here The instructions and the form itself are in this link.

You will need to enclose copies of the same documents you needed for the first TN at the consulate:
-copy of passport
-copy of diploma
-letter from employer
-copy of last two pay stubs or W2
-resume
-check or money order for fee
- copy of most recent I-90
-copy of approval of initial TN

Your employer must complete and send the I-129 form with all the enclosed documents. You can continue to work for 280 days after the I-129 has been submitted, and while the I-129 is being processed. This is a 280 day grace period, so don't worry about the expiry date as long as you submit the I-129 before the expiry date.

The 240-day (not 280) grace period runs from the end of the previous I-94 validity (not from the day you submit I-129).

Let's not make stuff up, eh?
