Seriously you can expedite on your current job and thats easiest. But if you say so...

 

Disagree wirh a lot of people, the EAD expedite is to fix financial loss. Its not to be tied to XYZ company. Clearly OP inteeviewed for more than just expediting an EAD love how people on here always think everyone is just rushing and dying for a green card. End of the day, new company offered less salary and benefits than his current job. So he goes back to current job and says hey my EAD/AP is this classification no longer TN, can I still work here? 

 

OP, I bet most these poeple have no idea how a TN visa works and why you interviewed to start with other firms. Also what happens if the new firm pulls their offer while his EAD expedite takes 6 weeks? Should he call USCIS say ehhh the compay changed their mind and dont want me anymore? Firms have been known to do this btw. Also his current firm could fire him tomorrow as well.

Thanks,  I didnt think about it that way. Definitely not going down that route. 

 

Thank you for wording it kindly,  some responses were pretty rude

Well, what did you expect with a question like that? :P No one here is going to condone something that most likely is going against the terms of service for this website. Plus your showing you have no moral issues screwing a company over.

I have a company with a job offer willing to expedite my EAD. However, I dont want to actually work there because my current TN job makes a little more money.

 

Is this a plausible idea? Take the offer, then say no after EAD is expedited? (Yes I know itll look really bad to the company) but I really need the EAD/AP

I am not good with acronyms and don't know what TN is but... Why are you working if you don't have a work permit?

That's what people say when they receive truthful answers they didn't want to hear.  You already knew it would "look bad".

Good luck in getting the expedite.

No, people say this after VJ members have been rude to them. I'm appalled by the rudeness on this website and I have never been attacked personally. Some members just enjoy berating others.

People are rude. That's the internet.

 

I've seen people be rude for two reasons: One, it's something political. Two, the person posting is trying to do something that circumvents USCIS or website ToS, and people don't tolerate it.

 

Oh, or when people give advice that is both wrong and unfounded.

I wonder if the people with quick rude responses switch companies for lower pay all the time. Or what they say if the second company purposely did not offer more salary to the OP because they knew of their immigration process and rules. But again its all the OPs time I am sure they enjoy interviewing for no fun.

Did I read correctly that you don't have EAD yet, but you have a "current" job? How does that work?

He/she would be adjusting status from another type of visa - like H1B that allowed them to live/work in the US.

@Unidentified: OP already has work authorization; see @GreatDane's post

The issue is it would still be a misrepresentation to claim a "severe financial loss" based on a job offer that you never intended to take.

How they would know or if it is material is another issue, but misrepresentations in general are to be avoided in immigration.

 

I concur that expediting based on the existing job would be wisest.

A TN visa (NAFTA) permits work (with heavy limitations....you are tied to the petitioner as the employer).

I sort of assumed most people were familiar with a TN.common for Canadians.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
