I’m kind of in a strange boat right now where I’m really comfortable in Canada yet I can’t shake this feeling I need to get over to the US of A in order to take advantage of that strong USD. I, like many Canadians, work for an American firm and have a TN visa. Recently, my employer offered to sponsor me for a green card, if I ever choose to relocate to the USA. I can live pretty much anywhere I want as I’m a remote employee, but I do travel to the USA for client work.
It’s a tough decision to make. While I consider it, I thought I’d ask the community. So, say you good lemmings?
Yeah that’s my thought too. It’ll take roughly 2 years to get my green card I’d imagine. 2 years is still 2 years though.
My bro required about 11 years for his green card. This is important:
at the time, you needed to have a visa that allowed you to be working and living in America.
each h1b is 4 years. You get 2.
there was no grift for queue-jumping back then
I’m not sure you can do it on a TN, nor from outside. H1, J1, etc, may be your only hope.
I appreciate the info. My lawyer said they can do it from a TN and the company will sponsor me.
