Received a job offer but still waiting for visa interview - EB 2 NIW

[asiv_visa 0]

Hi all,

 

Really would appreciate some advice.

 

I am a Canadian citizen living in Canada. My I-140 (EB-2 NIW category) has been approved with PD Nov 2023 and DQ May 2024. Waiting for interview letter from Montreal.

 

I received a healthcare job offer in the US with a start date in August 2025. The job did not offer any visa sponsorship but they might be willing to offer H-1B sponsorship. However I am not sure they are willing to do this and put up with the costs.

 

Other than H-1B sponsorship, what are my options to be authorized to work by August 2025? I am not sure that my green card will be approved by then but really would like to take this job opportunity.

 

Thanks

Is this allowed if I have a pending green card application? I read with the TN you have to show intent to return back to Canada, and if I have a pending ds-260 application that intent would be questionable?

TN can be renewed as long as you are working people have been here for decades

 

It is a non immigrant that is true 

 

Does not seem to be an issue

I'm not worried about the TN being renewed, I'm instead worried about my GC not being approved if I am on a TN.

Why?

Because a TN visa is not a "dual intent" visa... so I worry that by applying for PR in parallel I am somehow breaking this dual intent.
