FWIW - My lawyers said renewing your TN Visa, when you live in the States is expected to be difficult - as opposed to living in Canada, and crossing the border every day for work.

My company heavily suggested I switch to h1b simply because they expected my TN visa renewal to be denied (I am now on a h1b1)

I learned that my mistake was crossing back into Canada and doing the renewal at the Port of Entry. Apparently you can do TN renewals directly through the Department of State, while still being in the US. That's how we did it for the appeal and everything went smoothly.
