Keep them reversible. Dependent TD arrangements follow the principal's case, so a delay in resolving the role delays them as well. Avoid ending a lease, giving notice, or committing to school enrolment until the revised description has been reviewed.
Hold commitments the family cannot undo
The gap between a drafted package and an assessed one is exactly when households tend to make irreversible decisions, because the offer feels settled. Delay the ones that cost money to reverse. It is also worth confirming that a spouse's expectations are realistic independently of the reorganization: TD permits study but does not authorize employment, and that does not change with the principal's department.
TD status may allow eligible dependants to accompany or follow the TN professional, but it does not grant employment authorization. The TD spouse and children of a TN professional may live in the United States and attend school, but no TD dependant may work. A shared household, family goodwill, or the principal’s TN approval creates no permission for the spouse to perform those duties; only a separate, genuinely applicable lawful status could. A household review should identify every person’s intended activity, status evidence, and the date on which that person needs authorization, rather than borrowing the principal’s conclusion.
