1. No. As far as I understand, it has to be approved at Port of Entry. If you drive, airport is not your POE.2. Not sure. Search 美国话题, I am sure you can find the answer.
3. No. Just copy of your canadian degree (and maybe transcript )
4. I did. but seems not necessary. The officer didn't bother to leave a copy.
5. I guess so.
Hope this helps. And good luck to you too!

补充一下, officer 留下的文件有: copy of passport and degree, copy of offer letter, resume. 还交代说走的那天把他没拿走的材料通通带上, 包括律师信和公司的宣传材料什么的.

If you are driving, you don't need any of that (律师信和公司的宣传材料)

I applied at Lancing border. No photo needed. I also don't need to fill out I-94. They did everything for me. No line up. Everything is finished in 15min.

I think this is the only legal option for landed immigrants.

hi smartiecat, i just called a POE, and i was told i have to enter the states right away after i get the TN1, is that true? did you come back to canada after you got your TN1 or you are in the states already. thanks.

It works like this. If you are driving, the place you are applying for TN1 is already in the US side of the border. After you do the paper work and get the TN visa, you can turn around and go to the Canadian border.If you are going from Canada to US, only pass US custom. Canada does not care about you.
