@BC

Thanks, Henry.

but not sure what is too early.. if My visa expired on Aug 24.. I went there on
Aug 4.. is that too early ? I think in two weeks might be perfect timing..but I cannot go in two weeks.. my company seems not help a lot for my visa things. they had resource issue in Aug, don't want me to take off during 2 weeks timeframe...




could anybody let me know if you renew your TN visa after two weeks timeframe before TN visa expired ? I could have some idea...and it could help me to talk with my manager about it..

really appreciated..

    HI,

    I'm going to renew my TN visa at the Rainbow Bridge in Aug..

    My visa would expired on Aug 24.

    not sure if I could come to renew one month early or there is some time limit on how early I could renew..

    I don't know where I got this impression I need to renew my visa in two weeks before my visa expired..


    is that true ?

    any suggestion would be apprecaited.

    Thanks.
    • renew any time you want
      • thanks. the first time, I went there one month earlier , the officer told me I went there too early. ask me to go there later.. after I explain to him ..and after he called sb. finally gave me the visa..
        • I have the same question. DO u know, any website we can check to make sure. THX
          • I think you could call the POE to ask them.. I did.. but I'm still worry.. since different officer might treat differently..
    • Why not ask your employer to do a mail-in renew for you? It is safer and cost less to you.
      • May have trouble renewing your driver's licence once your TN expires and renewal has not been approved.
      • thanks. I heard about mail-in ..but that need my employer to fill in the form. I asked our HR, they are not going to help me on that. they said they either find a lawyer for me to fill that form but that would cost a lot to me..more than 1,700 US$..
        • Sorry for ur situation. In theory, you will be fine as long as you renew your TN before it is expire.
          But don't go too later, in case there is sth. wrong, and ur TN expires on tmr, they wouldn't let u go back and fix the problem.
          Also if u go too early, they would ask u to come back later.
          I personally think it is safe to go for a renew when ur TN is expiring in 2 weeks.
          • In case I renew TN tomorrow and is rejected, can I reenter into US with the old TN (the old TN will expire in two weeks)? Thanks
            • Anyone has experiences with that? Thanks
            • sorry, no experience on that.. you might call POE to ask them...
            • Yes. The official will allow you to enter US using old I-94. I was rejected at Lewiston bridge once three weeks before the expiration date (Saturday). I just went back to Canada, tried next day at Rainbow and got approved (Sunday).
              • thanks for sharing your experienece. Could you let us know why they rejected you on Sat?
                • salary is more than 500000...too higher than TN officer
                  • Maybe this is one of the reasons. He looked so tired and sad that day. He rejected me very quickly without reviewing the documents carefully. When I asked reasons, he just gave me many reasons.
                    1. I was using the education evaluation from a US laywer. He said he only accepted the evaluation from University of Toronto.
                    2. He said there's no TN specialist there. He was not sure my document was enough.
                    3. He said Lewiston bridge was not responsible for NAFTA related entries. NAFTA related things should go to Rainbow or Peace bridge.
                    4. He said he never heard about my employer.
                    5. He said the employment letter wasn't longer enough to describe my job detail.

                    He also told me that there's no record for the rejection because my current TN was still valid and i could work until the expiration date.

                    OK. I think he just didn't want to give me the TN. I used the same document to get the TN previous year at Lewiston, also it was on Saturday.

                    Then next day I went to Rainbow and got my new TN using the same document without any changing.
            • Thanks, Henry.

    • Normally, they will only renew or approve your TN-status, F1-Status for canada citizen in two weeks or less before it expired or took effect, it's just a guideline, no public document. But always, you can try, every officer is diff. Good luck.
      • Thanks.
      • I think what (GtaOn) said is reasonable. Again, every officer is different, it depends on his/her mood that day. Explain ur situation If they say sth. Good luck!
        • GtaOn and Henry, thanks for your help. really appreciated. I'm going to go there three weeks earlier.. crossing fingers for that. :-)
