TN visa holder, marrying an American, frmrly H-1B holder, tired.

Hey friends who are aware of the news about the changes to Adjustment of Status: please give your informed thoughts on my situation.

Currently on a TN, lawyer category, law degree from top US school. Five-ish years legal experience all in the USA. Spent my first legal working year on OPT, then three years on H-1B, just entered on TN three weeks ago.

Engaged to a U.S. citizen (naturalized). Getting married in about a month (got our marriage license this morning and got to celebrate for a whole three hours before this news broke). I’m Canadian-born. Was planning to apply for spousal green card from inside the USA (obviously, because I have to live here to work here) sometime shortly after the 90 day period.

Returning to Canada to apply for the GC is no problem, but will I then lose my job/not be able to enter the USA? Someone I know recently got rejected at the border trying to get a new TN, possibly because she was with her American husband, which indicates immigration intent (but so does applying for a spousal GC which is why I wanted to do it in-country!)?

Should I consider moving from TN back to H-1B? I have three years left but I’m not sure if I’d have to pay the 100K fee? I quit my job and let my H-1B lapse last year, before the fee was implemented. If I get back on H-1B, would it be less of a mess to move to a spousal GC?

Is anyone else fucking exhausted?
