Immigration officers presume that every TN applicant is entering the U.S. for the purpose of remaining in the country permanently.

You may start the process for a green card while working in the U.S. under NAFTA TN status.

PERM application should not warrant the denial of a TN application on the grounds of immigrant intent.

An approved, or pending, employment-based green card application is not conclusive evidence of immigrant intent.

The filing of an immigrant visa petition is only one factor to consider in the adjudication of a TN extension, and should not automatically result in a denial.

Applicants for TN visa status do not need to maintain significant ties abroad such as “ties of property, employment, family obligation, and continuity of life.”
