Possible job offer for me - my spouse wants to work too.

I may be receiving a job offer for a tenure-track admin/research position at a US university starting Spring 2008. As far as I can tell, I qualify for a TN visa, and (probably) a EB-2 employer-sponsored green card application. I have an MA and my wife has an MBA. What are the options available to us?

Sure, you can qualify for a TN. You're wife can get TD status but she can't work as a TD. She can study. Of course once she obtains a job offer she can file for a change of status from TD to TN or TD to H-1B when Hs become available again.

Thanks,
I don't thnk she is a clear TN candidate, so I guess she will need to have an employer sponsor her April 1 '08 for a possible H-1B in October? I wonder if H-1Bs will still be in short supply.
As for me, If I wanted to make this a longer-term thing at some point in the future, would it be better to follow TN --> adjustment of status (consular processing), or TN --> H-1B --> adjustment of status?

Hello
If your wife has an MBA, she may qualify as a TN applicant under the Management Consultant category if she has a job offer as such. There may be other options in finance as well.

I don't thnk she is a clear TN candidate, so I guess she will need to have an employer sponsor her April 1 '08 for a possible H-1B in October?

I wonder if H-1Bs will still be in short supply. Probably, the H-1B system has turned into a lottery.

As for me, If I wanted to make this a longer-term thing at some point in the future, would it be better to follow TN --> adjustment of status (consular processing), Adjustment of status and consular processing are two different things.

or TN --> H-1B --> adjustment of status?

Just stay on the TN and file for consular processing, not adjustment. There is no need for a Canadian TN to transfer to H-1b. And again, even if you file an H-1B it may be rejected because of the virtual lottery system.

There are some previous posts about Mgmt Consultants and requierments, etc that will help you out.

Good Luck!

What are the steps for the process of getting a green card?
Can apply for green card status while you are on TN visa?

My site explains the process in detail (See green cards tab) including how a TN to green card can be done.

Hi Chris Rizzo, am going thru your site but I cannot find the TN to greencard tab?

Donot fall into the trap of applying for GC through TN visa without changing to a dual intent visa like H or L visa.

Your chances of visa are likely to be endangered if you apply for GC while on TN status since GC application contradicts non-immigrant intent.

There are some immigration consultant who encourage that TN to GC is not a problem. Go ahead if you wish.

After all it is your visa and your job and life.
