Holding Company Stocks on TN Visa

Question details

I am on TN visa for the more than a year. The company wants to give me some stock option (10-15%). Is that ok to hold stocks of the company you are working for on TN visa, or will it create problem when I apply for renewal of my TN visa. Can I apply for GC on TN visa?

ANSWER

I see no issue with holding stock, but that will be a problem for PERM-based green card. Also, processing green card under TN can be problematic.
