About the TN Visa
The TN visa allows qualified Canadian and Mexican citizens to work in the United States in certain professional roles under the USMCA (formerly NAFTA). It provides a streamlined process for individuals in fields such as engineering, accounting, science, and teaching to work for a U.S. employer on a temporary basis. The TN visa can be granted for up to three years at a time and is renewable indefinitely, making it a popular option for professionals seeking cross-border employment.
How Do I Qualify?
Our approach to preparing TN visa applications is meticulous and personalized. While the TN process can appear straightforward, many applications are denied due to vague job descriptions, insufficient evidence of qualifications, or failure to match the position to a USMCA-approved profession. We take the time to understand your professional background and your employer’s needs to ensure your application is fully aligned with the legal requirements of the TN category. Our team carefully prepares supporting documents that clearly demonstrate your eligibility and ensure consistency across all materials, whether your case will be reviewed at the border, a consulate, or by USCIS. By tailoring each petition to the specific facts of your case, we significantly increase the likelihood of a smooth and successful outcome.
