I am in the US on an H1 and we are in the process of filing for permanent residency and a VISA. This could take another year. My husband would like to return to work and could do so for a Canadian company in the area of remote or even telphone sales. We live in California but also have a place in Canada.

Good evening,

About 3 years ago I moved with my wife and kids to Mexico to do mission work. At that time, I sent a note to Canada Customs and Revenue Agency saying that we were leaving the country, and that I would be cancelling my permanent residency. At the time, I judged that to be best, but am now having second thoughts.

I have been told by a few folks that Canada has special ...

Hi all.

My boyfriend and I plan to marry in January 2009.

Have anyone been in this situation before?

Thanks. I'm glad I found ...

Hello,

My H1B visa needs to be extended soon. I would like to use TN instead of extending it. Is there any issue for converting H1B to TN? Do I need a lawyer? In case TN is denied, can I still use H1B (a few weeks left) to enter USA?

Thanks,

Yikes, I'm in a tight spot! I've been working in the US under a TN for nearly 2 years now. After a short trip to Canada, as I was re-entering the US the Immigration officer pulled me in. My passport scans up as a "denial" since I had been denied my initial TN renewal, but ended up being granted the status.

In March my boyfriend and I were married and were planning on doing an ...
