If TN visa denied

[Steven]

So if my TN visa application get denied, they would put a note on my file and any CBP officers would be able to see that? If yes, how long would it remain in my file?

75 years.

I just came across this post. LOL. The answer is actually 99 years.

[Dremani]

Why don't they just make it a cool 200 years?

[lawsrlaws]

The system only allows 99 years at a time. Must ussume we will all die before the age of 130.

you can do the b2 visitor visa, then afterwards apply for tn by mail and use expediate service which would cost extra. i did it that way, who knows the officer at the border is in a bad mood that day if you try your tn then.

Yeah, the best way is to lie, and then adjust from within. Its better than being honest.

I will once again point out that Canuck Abroad in no way shape or form condones lying to US border officials. Comments made by independent members are their own, and do not reflect the opinions of Canuck Abroad.

I wouldn't recommend lying. It usually comes back to bite you in the ass sooner rather than later.

The first question asked at the border is "what is the purpose of your visit?"

If you answer "I've found a US job, but I'm circumventing CBP by entering as a tourist in order to immediately file an I-129 for TN, because I fear that I will be denied entry if I petition at the POE", then you won't be lying, you will simply be turned away.

If you do not answer exactly as above, you will be lying. Above all, POE officers are trained to detect catch and absolutely grill liars.

Don't lie.
