Renewal of TN visa

My TN visa expires in May - and I should be renewing it. Should I only do a border crossing to renew at the date of expiry, or can I do it before hand (e,g. one month before)? Thanks

You should reply at least 1 week before it expires. The agent could get grumpy if you do it on the expiry date. I know as this happened to me in 2004 and it delayed what is normally a 30 minute exercise into a 5 hour delay at the border before it was finally approved.

You can renew up to 6 months in advance.
