I've asked this question in a few places but never gotten an answer.
A TN visa/status holder that applies for a EB Green Card by filing form I-485 is considered to have shown immigrant intent and will no longer be granted TN status in the future.
Is this bar permanent or would an applicant who failed to obtain a Green Card or surrendered it in the future be able to seek TN visa/status provided they could prove strong links to Mexico/Canada?
There's no permanent bar but the standard would be high to show with a subsequent TN application that the applicant possessed good faith intent to return to Canada/Mexico. We've argued that successfully.
Thank you.
