Hi, I am a Canadian on TN visa in States. I'll be starting a new job in December. They sent me a TN package and asked me to go 10 days before to the border (so ideally last week of Nov). I want to give notice only after I got my new TN visa. My end date would be November starting as I have some personal work in Canada. Can I go a month ahead of the start date to the border and get a TN visa for new job? Is Form I-129 the safe way to go in this case? I'm confused and stressed. Please advice.
They won't give you TN one month ahead. If the lawyers did your TN application package, I won't worry too much about getting denied. The important thing about TN is that you should have no immigration intent.
ok, thank you just stressed about giving notice and waiting for 3 weeks without visa for the new job. I dont know I-129 is any better since it has pre-approval.
I-129 in generally better, they generally don’t seem to scrutinize USCIS’ adjudication at the border.
Looking for same info..
Me too!
Are you guys doing it at the border? or I-129?
