Just make sure you have an extension, do not apply when you are on the 1 year period. Your extension can last as long as 3 years after your visa expires.
Sorry, please elaborate. Why not travel during 1 year period and how does the extension work?
My bad, I read incorrectly, if you have Advance Parole then your good! You should be able to travel out of the country :) in your card it should say that it can be used for traveling (front side at the bottom)
I'm really confused. Isn't the whole point of tn that you can't apply for immigration and gc? Hence why they want you to move to h1b first before applying for gc? How do you explain to border folks that you are both tn and applying for gc at the same time?
Yeah, it’s not meant for double intent, but you can still apply.
What I learned is that anyone on tn visa must wait for 90 days after last entry into US before filing i-485. Otherwise they can catch you for dual intent.
It's not a problem. I have done it multiple times. When you enter with AP, you are not entering with TN status anymore. Your status will Paroled not TN. (Make sure your I-94 reflects that). You have to go to secondary every time so add 1-2 hours to your travel schedule.
Wait... So they don't deport you? What's the point of the h1b then?
He’s in the process of AOS. That’s not H1 anymore.
You are no longer on TN visa. Just show your AP.
Show AP. Little risk. You should get your GC within 3 months tho so might as well wait
If flying, avoid big airports because the wait in the secondary inspection could be hours. I traveled thru Calgary and Ottawa airport with my AP and the whole waiting time was not even 10 min. Different story in YYZ or any big airport.
There shouldn’t be any issues. They will send you to the secondary to confirm your i485 is in progress.
