Immigrant intent on a TN is a big no-no

• QGQBGdeZREunxLe 4mo ago
  Plenty of people have filed an I-485 and been awarded Green Cards on a TN status. That was a completely acceptable path until last week. Peter Roberts the immigration attorney that regularly posts here can validate that. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36913448 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36913448

    “Completely acceptable” is not accurate. I’d wager that for any success story there are many stories of heartbreak due to timing and travel for TN renewal. A risk I wouldn’t advise a friend to take. But, yes, doesn’t matter anymore after last week.

      Sure timing is an issue and so are the resulting travel implications of showing immigrant intent but it was 100% legal and therefore an acceptable route. EAD/AP shows up in around 4-5 months for most people and those restrictions are then no longer a concern.
