Hi David,
I am a Canadian citizen and have TN Visa, but after three month I
quit and looking for another job. If I find a decent job, what
should be my next step? Can I continue to work with my TN Visa or
not?
I appreciate your reply.
=======================================
david ingram replies:
When you quit your job, you were required to leave he US
immediately OR go to a US Homeland Security office and change
your status to visitor while you arranged your affairs.
The TN visa was only valid for the company that hired you.
If you find another job, you will have to leave the US and
reapply at a border. Depending upon where you are, leaving could
mean taking a ferry to the Bahamas and back from Florida, a day
trip to Mexico and back, a trip to Europe and back or coming back
to Canada.
The Europe bit was told to me last December when the fellow told
me that he got to go to London for a week on an excursion for
less than it would have cost him to fly back to Toronto.
In the meantime, you are likely in the USA illegally and have to
solve the problem sooner rather than later. for instance, if you
left the job acrimoniously, it would not be unusual for someone
at the company to report the fact that you have left your
employment to Homeland Security. Indeed, it is likely their duty
to do so if you quit in any circumstances since they are
responsible for your being in the USA in the first place.
A lawyer who is very skilled in TN visa problems is Joe Grasmick
at www.Grasmick.com -- He has a phone consultation service which
would cost you $285.00 US for one-half hour.
And of course, you have a real tax preparation problem which we
would be glad to look after for you.
