i all, my immigration visa interview is coming up in oct in Montreal,hope u can give advice to my concern im currently working under tn since 2009, my father had filed for my i130 back in 2001,it was delayed by 911. i just renewed my tn in may 2012, and now im wondering if my tn will impact my chance for getting the immigration visa. tn to gc thru i130 The fact that you have gotten TN's with an I-130 shows that this has no impact. What will happen is at the moment you filre I-485, then you wil lhave to have TN time left and stay in US until your AP/EAD (whiach are sent at the same time as your I-485) are approved, and you will statrt working on EAD basis, no longer TN. TNs never impact the GC process. It is the GC process that can -- but usually does not if you time the I-485 correctly -- affect your TN. i thought on the day of the interview u had to surrender ur passport to them, pendng the outcome of the interview they would stamp the visa n courier it to u or i dont know whatll happen if it is rejected. Oh, you are going the consular interview (CP) route. Well, during the period from the time you leave US for your interview, medical, etc, until the time you get your GC approval, you are not allowed to enter US anyways, so there is no question
