Travel during TN1 to H1B

[Calgarykings]

My company is initiating H1B process for me. Currently I am on TN1 status with family on TD. Does starting the H1B process has any effects on me and my family travelling outside of USA? My TN1/TD are valid untill 2021. Can we be denied entry while returning back to US while app is in process?

Absolutely there is risk- H1B is a dual-intent visa so you're at peril of being judged as having "immigrant intent" when you attempt to enter on a TN visa.

This is a well discussed topic amongst lawyers + non-lawyers. You need to do more research and make sure you know how to handle all your applications to navigate the dual-intent correctly.
