TN Visa - Any of you familiar with this Visa and with things like how early you can apply, Q's asked, etc?
So I work for a big company that has office locations in the US, they helped me by hiring lawyers to complete my documentation (sponsor letters, forms filled out, etc). I had a few questions for anyone with experience through this (for the record, I'm meeting with the lawyers next week but I'm a bit impatientand wanted some of your thoughts)
1) How was the interview at the border and what sorts of questions do they ask?
2) Now I already work for this company as a virtual employee in Canada and have been employed by them for the last 5 years. The lawyers my company hired had the start/end dates read Dec 1, 2019 to Dec 1, 2022....now this confused me a bit because they FedEx'd me the docs the on Dec 2nd (I assume they know what they'redoing). The question is, is there anyhting wrong with the dates they chose? I ask because this leads me to question 3...
3) I will definitely go over this question with the lawyers next week, but thought I'd throw it out here as well. I've been reading a lot online about how early you can apply, many if not all sites say things like "You should not apply with the intention of obtaining your TN Visa and then immediately returning to Canada to finalize your affairs. The Officer will ask you to return when you are ready to move." Other sites say you can only apply up to 10 days before "you start".
But how does this work for someone who is already employed by the company? Can I, for example, apply for TN Visa on Dec 12th, and then return to Canada, and then when I'm ready (let's say when I sell my apartment, find a new apartment in the US city) move. So is it possible for someone in my situation to get the Visa on Dec 12th and leave to the US in March 2020?
