Quote:Many people,

dancerinbright(呆头呆脑向前冲)
even many qualified lawyers are under the wrong impression that a person in TN status cannot file for Adjustment of Status, simply based on the fact that TN status does not allow for dual intent. (See Quote #5 in Appendix C below) All this really means is that once a person in TN status has shown clear immigrant intent, they are no longer eligible to obtain or renew their TN and TD status. Another misconception is that an I-140 shows clear immigrant intent. This has been confirmed to be untrue by both the former director of INS and the Nebraska Service Center, since an I-140 is filed by the COMPANY, and not the beneficiary. (See appendix C below for all relevant quotes, especially quote #1) Only a pending I-485 shows clear immigrant intent, therefore once you have filed an I-485, you are no longer eligible for TN status. To this point, many people ask what happens to their TN status once the I-485 is filed. The following pages explain this in greater detail, but as a summary, this is what you should know:

      • 有一点可以肯定：你是绝对的好意！谢谢你！但是，要是我，我还是走H1B的路线，保险起见。万一TN给废了，就没有退路了。所以，你最后的桥最好别烧掉。以TN为据点，不断尝试H1B，进退自如，直到你稳稳地拿到绿卡。为什么要冒险呢？ -meng2010(mimi); 2016-9-29 (#10328358@0) +1

          当然可以慢慢抽H1B再办绿卡, 这样用2-3年抽中H1B, 然后5-6年等排期. 但很多人会希望绿卡尽早办好, 不然一旦失业, 面临马上离境的问题, 而且不能在美国领失业保险, 但有绿卡就不一样了，随便在美国找工作, 领失业保险，另外还有很多其他好处 。TN直接办绿卡，google一下，2011年以后没见过renew TN出问题的
          • 好意，绝对领了。但是，你被追究的可能性极大 。更加讨厌的是你永远不能再TN了。就加拿大那个就业市场，你这辈子就完了。 -meng2010(mimi); 2016-10-3 {82} (#10334790@0) +2
            失业只是暂时的，你有了美国经验，还可以再找，也就是麻烦一点点，总比你彻底完蛋好吧？

          once a TN files an application for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status, then TN would no longer be eligible for admission or an extension of stay as a TN nonimmigrant." 是说的是TN持有者在file移民申请（如i140）或身份调整（如i485）之后，就不能续TN了吗？
          • Immigration visa application 不是 i140 -aol(华裔旅美新加侨); 2017-2-19 (#10618683@0)

                • 哦，据我了解移民可以走两条线，1是i140/485，2是使领馆。那ds-260是顶替i485的作用，只不过是往境外使领馆递咯？ -homosapien1234(ggg); 2017-2-19 (#10618992@0)
