Hi, I am working in the US on a TN-1 visa. Job and degree in software engineering. My TN expires in 2025.
My spouse is a green card holder and we are looking at our options beyond 2025.
I would like to enter and exit the country, since I have aging families I would like to visit outside the US.
Further, I would like to be able to renew my TN or get a new TN if needed, since the tech sector is going through layoffs this year
One option I found while researching is to fill for I-130 + consular instead of requesting an Adjustment of Status.
It appears this method would allow me to enter and exit the country without risk while my i-130 is pending. Questions:
- Does filling i-130 alone indicate any intent?
- Can I enter or exit the country while i-130 is pending?
- Can I renew a TN visa while i-130 is pending?
- Can I renew a TN visa if I go through the consular route?
Thank you
