Hello there. I am new to the forums and have a question regarding the TN-1 Visa and permanent residency status. I am a Canadian Citizen and have been on a TN-1 Visa to work in the U.S. since 2001. I would like to know what the various routes are to apply to become a permanent resident of the U.S. Is it a fairly easy process? Are there any potential disadvantages to applying for permanent residency when still on a TN-1 Visa? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

On what basis do you want to apply ? Because you can't just apply... Two most common routes are based on marriage to US citizen and sponsored by employer for employment based green card.

I suspect the OP wants to do the green card through employment

I'd speak to the immigration lawyer at your company, and no, immigrating to the US is not 'easy'

good luck
