Any Canadians here who were on TN that applied for GC? Any caveats to be aware of during the application process? How long did the whole process take for you?

Timing is critical in situations like this. Make sure you have extended your TN fully and that it is done prior to filing your I-485. If possible try to file I-140 and I-485 together. Note however that you cannot travel outside the US in the period between your I-485 being filed and the I-131 being approved. Make sure to extend your I-131 too at 6 months out.

Unless you’re a Canadian born, you’re likely going to stumble on bumpy sections on this path towards GC on a TN visa. Any reasonable lawyer will suggest your turn over to an H1b or an L visa

The biggest thing to consider is that once you file your I-485 you will not be able to enter the United States on TN or be granted a change of status to TN from USCIS. You also cannot travel on TN once the I-485 is filed. Some immigration attorneys would caution against doing so even after filing the I-140.

Hello all, I have an offer from Quantiphi and another famous travel company which is building a technical arm for themselves. Both the companies are offering same compensation. HRs are calling for offer acceptance. I am leaning towards Quantiphi as the culture is well known to me.
But I have to decide soon. Should I accept both the offers and then decline one at the time of joining. I am new to this and find this a little unethical. Can someone help?

Does anyone here have an experience of filing an EB1A or NIW petition. A law firm suggested me to first do a NIW petition and then follow it up with EB1A. Is it a good strategy to do it this way because NIW is more certain and gets a place in the line? Am I missing something? Should I instead file an EB1A directly?

Also, any good law firm suggestions for EB1A petitions based academic credentials? Thanks for the help
