Asked on Mar 16th, 2013 on Immigration - Oregon
More details to this question:
Canadian citizen on TN1-Status. Charged with DUII. Hired a criminal lawyer. Entered Diversion program. Charges to be dropped after successfully completing the program. Have been previously arrested for "disturbing the peace" but charges dropped and "Nolle Prosequi" entered. Have letter from Lawyer to support this. No other criminal history. TN1-Status requires renewal ¿ will be my 3rd renewal. What is the best way to get it renewed ¿ drive to the border or mail-in a petition? What documentation other than the application and required documents would make the mail-in process successful as that would be my preferred method (eg letters from lawyer)?

Apply to renew at the Point of Entry (POE) may be less expensive because when you apply at the POE it's $50 and I-129 costs $320. So it depends on how close to the border you are and whether your employer is paying the fees.It is faster to go to the Point of Entry.Mail-in renewals make the most sense if everything stays pretty much the same, your employer is paying the fee and you live a long way from the border.
