I have been trying to get straight answers on what happens after a TN visa is denied at the border, but only seem to get a varitable smorgasboard of answers. Can anyone clarify any of the below questions for me??
If a Canadian citizen gets denied renewal of a TN visa at the border, does the INS keep a record of this? (i.e. if the Canadian citizen tries to reapply a year later, will the INS know he was denied the previous year and why?)
Is it considered an "overstay" if you go and try to renew a TN visa and are denied, but remain in the US?
What happens if the denial was based on the immigration officer's inability to verify that the employment information given on the TN application is legitimate?
Would this constitute fraud?
Will this scenerio be later considered a "material misrepresentation" and prevent the Canadian from obtaining a green card or other legal status allowing his staying and working in the US?
If the Canadian citizen was told by ICE that he must return within 10 days to the border with appropriate documentation (such as W2's) to prove the legitimacy of the employment, or return to Canada, and the Canadian citizen does neither, what happens?
Does the INS keep a record of this, or will it just go away if the Canadian citizen who is out of status marries a US citizen?
Will he be able to change status with a claim of "staying for love" if no action to correct the immigration violation was taken for more than a year after the TN visa was denied?
What would one resonably expect after a change of status is filed in a case like this? As in, what kind of paperwork, fees, and investigation is likely to follow?
Any clarification is GREATLY appreciated!
