Yeah that's always an option. You can always try all these free consultations lot of attorneys have to see if you will qualify for NIW or EB 1 but you're asking for a higher level of scrutiny from the US CIS than a regular EB 2 or lower. But if your skillset or qualifications match you can...

Sorry I saw your post below but missed this one. Your case is intricate because of the I-140/I-485 situation. It will be prudent to consult an immigration attorney. There are attorneys available for really cheap who my friends have experience with. I don't have any personal or commercial...

I think I know who you are talking about. I think they should be ok. But make sure you have unfettered access to your employer's attorney and ask them if they anticipate any issues and if they're seeing any trend of additional scrutiny on the L1 applications they're filing for your employer. L1...

https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=911&top=5 There is no problem leaving Canada after mailing your citizenship application to pursue whatever you want. You will still need to maintain your PR (2 years in the past 5 years) until your citizenship application is approved and...

It depends on the type of company. They've started to go after software services companies widely using L1. I believe Cognizant Technology is being sued by a whistleblower under False Claims Act, in part, relating to its L1 use. I mean, if they end up determining they misused L1 visa and the...

Given the elaborate instructions on getting guarantors outside Canada (here) and the fact guarantors are required only for the first passport (and not for renewals) it would seem you can apply new passports outside Canada. As long as you have someone that can safely mail your citizenship...

If you've worked in H-1B before, there can be some potential benefits if you're considering a green card application in future. Since employers like to have the status converted to a H1-B before filing for green card, they go through the arduous lottery process - if you've never had a H1-B...

Residence is your abode, your personal headquarters, if you will. Address related problems can be subjective depending on a number of parameters like: 1. Were your trips only a few weeks to a few months long or was it like a year or two? 2. Did you live in a different place (whether a house or...

Not sure if this update means every application filed before August 18, 2019 was adjudicated. There's always been a huge discrepancy between their generic updates and individual experiences. Unless they resolve this problem at a very central level - which needs to come from the senior leadership...

You can go to a port of entry for renewal if your prefer. Or just like a H1-B extension, a TN can also be extended using the I-129 form filed by your employer with the US CIS. Other options like premium processing are also available for TN. There is no need to go to a port of entry if the...

This link gives a pretty good summary of the basics. https://www.lightmanimmigration.com/tn-visa-or-h-1b-visa/ If you google, there are many others. To add, 1. H1B is extremely expensive for the employer. For a large organization, it might cost 10k-20k to obtain a new H1B and probably 10-15k...

Per that link, A manifest is just a shipping label. Even top notch shippers like FedEx struggle with this but they do it if physically possible. Another workaround with carriers like FedEx/UPS is redirect your package for pickup at a carrier location and ask it to be returned after their five...

Most of your questions are around the process of withdrawal which I don't know a lot about. But, withdrawal or even abandonment of your citizenship application shouldn't affect your current PR status in any way (as long as you continue to satisfy your PR obligations). If you apply for...

I personally haven't had an issue with US travel (so far) but I'm familiar with the environment. One can understand why CBP inspection seems more stringent given the amount of people that decide to not leave. In Canada, they often issue a federal arrest warrant against anyone (with no other...

This is extremely common, I'd imagine this scenario plays out hundreds of times in any given day across all ports of entry in the US. You have nothing to worry about at all with respect to your citizenship application. Many times, border officials esp. the CBP keep asking question until they...

My bad, I thought it was written with the "Application for Admission withdrawn" stamp. If it's just on the visa application and not on the foil/stamp you're totally fine. Like rajkamalmohanram said, it's possible the attorney wasn't aware it's a common practice for IRCC to request all the...

If I'm understanding correctly, you were advised not to send all pages when IRCC asks for all pages from all passports for the eligible period? I think that is what will become the real misrepresentation for IRCC and trigger other bars (like 10 year bar from applying to become a Canadian...

If their number is still over the minimum requirement, you don't have a lot to worry about. Is their number very close to 1095? For instance, 1100 or 1110, something like that? If that's the case, I'd proactively look at or gather documents that prove my residency and more importantly, about...

Can you post the links to the "contradicting advice" that you speak of? And the details you have about the personal circumstances of the applicants in question?

When I was looking into CBSA ATIP, I saw a note about a 'highway passage report'. https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/agency-agence/reports-rapports/pia-efvp/atip-aiprp/thr-rav-eng.html Under: Getting your Travel History report If you used a personal vehicle for those trips that you are/were the...
