Under no situation would a table dealer in a casino qualify as a Hotel Management position under NAFTA. You would be laughed at by CBP officers if you presented a letter of employment listing duties as dealing cards at a casino and suggesting that would qualify as hotel management. Please try this and write back explaining what they (CBP)told you.

petran

you are expected to leave as soon as your status ends, you resign tn done leave within a reasonable time fram. 1 week seems reasonable, if questioned in the future explain I resigned on 10/02 took care of my affairs left on 10/09.

Officially it's ten days for most categories, TN seems to be a bit vague though.
