TN-1 after stay in USA on H1B and own property.

Post Sat Dec 03, 2011 9:43 pm

Hi,

I am new to this forum and have some questions.

This is my current situation:

I am a Canadian citizen and working on a H1B. My company has filed for a PERM (labour certification for GC). The PERM is currently pending and still in process. I am very close to 6 years on H1B.

I own property in USA where I currently live. I have parents who live in Canada and own property in Canada

I may be laid off from my current job. Therefore I am looking to find another job in USA and it may have to be on a TN-1. And when I do, I will quit my current company.

Questions

1) Can I go on a TN-1 after just coming off a H1B? Will I be denied since I have shown prior intent to stay in USA? Does this show up on the border's computers?

2) Do I have to declare my property in USA? Why not just give my parent's address in Canada as my place of residence?

3) Will owning propery in USA be a liability when applying for a TN-1? What would happen if I just didn't tell them that I own property in USA?

4) With a PERM application in my history, will it hurt my ability to get a fresh TN-1?

Thanks in advance!
-SM

1, Of course you can get TN. H1 is not intent to immigrate. PERM is not intenet to immigrate, even I-140 is not suffcient to deny TN.
2, You are on H1 and are moving to TN, hy would you need to have Cdn address?
3. No, They won;t ask.
4. See 1.
