Could you explain to me how come I was able to submit my DS-260 and be DQ'd even though my filing dates have not ever been current (or were not current at the time I filed)? My PD is Nov 23 and the filing dates are still at August 2023.

It's more complicated than that, but the situation is that she is going to remain employed by the Canadian company but be on parental leave for at least 6 months during that time? So technically she is employed but not working. I know I will have to check more carefully but I believe that's allowed

Thanks for the heads up. My partner will move with me but they will continue to be employed through a Canadian employer and will work remotely from the US.

At the time we filed for eb2 NIW the urgency of getting the GC in hand was not as high as now. My lawyer felt it would be safer to go through the eb2 route. I'm going to have to consult my lawyer again to see if O1 really is a good option.

I think I'll have to go with an O1 sponsorship since I would be eligible for that. I don't think this employer is cap exempt .

Okay, thanks for pointing that out. Should I be looking at the final action dates or the filing dates on the visa bulletin tables when it comes to being scheduled for interviews?

I thought you can still be interviewed while your PD is not current? I understand the GC won't be issued until the PD is current, but where does it say that you can't be invited to complete the medical exam/interview until the PD is current?

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.

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.

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?

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
