Hi. You only need an I-129 if you extend in the US via the Service Center. When you TN is about to expire, you can file in the US or go back to the Consulate like your initial application. Thus, you do not need to file the I-129. To access your qualifications, I would need more information about your full background, the job and the company. You can always call or email for more information. 

If you live outside the US, you can file a stand alone I-130 petition with the Chicago lockbox. When doing so, make certain to give USCIS a valid mailing address where you can receive and they can send correspondences.

Hello: There is no need to wait for 10 years. *Consulate Processing* Consulate Processing must be completed. This allows the petition to first be sent to the National Visa Center, and then the appropriate documents and package to go to the U.S. Consulate or Embassy. If done correctly, you will be able to enter as a Lawful Permanent Resident and will be in the U.S. in less than one year. Of course the time might be a bit less or more depending on the backlog of the U.S. Consulate or Embassy and whether or not a Waiver of Inadmissibility is needed. *Waiver of Inadmissibility* A Waiver of Inadmissibility will have to be obtained. This is an application that will include a legal brief, forms, documents, exhibits, declarations and other evidence. My firm can prepare the entire waiver, and attach all of the necessary documents. It will take several months for the decision, and if done correctly, there is a good chance of an approval. The Waiver essentially makes the crime or ground of ineligibility disappear so that entry or re-entry will be allowed into the U.S. Please note that the Waiver is the critical part of this application, and unless approved, there cannot be any other petition that will allow entry into the U.S. Therefore, the Waiver must be prepared with significant supporting documents.
