H1B has a purpose and it guarantees 6 yrs on the visa and is very useful for jumping to a green card.. something very tough (impossible) on a TN. In short, H1B is a much better choice for Canadians on high-tech positions in the US, however, the problem is that professionals from India are whoring all the visas so nobody else can get themgletham Communicationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05244315789557492684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8431492.post-57210911292114240842007-09-10T13:14:00.000-07:002007-09-10T13:14:00.000-07:00As far as I know TN is only for Canadians, and if ...As far as I know TN is only for Canadians, and if you are a Canadian on an H1B, chances are that you are on the wrong visa in the first place.<BR/>Your visa can get revoked. Your employer sponsors the visa, so if you loose your job, you loose your visa and get only 10 days to leave the country. So with only a one day notice being the norm in the US, you probably don't have more than 10 days to figure it all out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8431492.post-90882269906346542612007-09-09T17:33:00.000-07:002007-09-09T17:33:00.000-07:00h1b is a funny situation.. you absolutely cannot g...h1b is a funny situation.. you absolutely cannot go out of status and you have little time to correct things. Obviously you know when the expiration is coming and with one renewal 6 years is all you have on H1B. If applicable you can jump on to a TN but once again you need to apply well before it expires. I'd suggest about 3 months before expiration to start making plans.

If you quit your job (or even worse get fired) you have 10 days to sell your house and car, get a plane ticket and pack all your stuff.<BR/>I couldn't find anything on the I-139. Are you sure you don't have to leave the country first to get a new one?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
