Hi
I am in a bizarre situation where my company filed the I129 change of status to TN while I was in Canada without informing me that they had filed the application. The petition was approved and an i797a with an i94 (the same number as the one I have right now, I am currently on TD). My understanding of COS was that I was supposed to travel to Canada, or the COS would be considered abandoned, so they would deny the COS.
I asked the lawyer the company hired to file the I129. She said that as long as the number on my i94 matches the one issued by USCIS, I should be fine, otherwise, I would have to exit the country and get the TN stamp at the POE in order to "re-validate".
Does it make sense?
On a side note, I am puzzled as to why USCIS didn't know I was in Canada. I always use the nexus lanes in and out so they knew exactly when I left (Departure is updated pretty quickly and based on the lawyer shared with me I left before they filed the application.
Thank you so much
