TN Visa Immigration Attorney

The TN visa is for Canadian and Mexican professionals who are seeking to work in the U.S. in a pre-arranged business activity for a U.S. employer. 


Requirements 


  • The applicant must be a citizen of Canada or Mexico. 
  • The job must fall into one of the designated professions listed under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). 
  • The beneficiary must have the required educational credentials or professional licenses for that profession. 
  • The beneficiary must have a specific job offer from a U.S. employer. 


Minimally Required Documents 


  • Canadian or Mexican passport 
  • A letter from the U.S. employer detailing the job duties, 
  • Employee’s resume, university diploma and transcripts, and/or professional license. 


For Canadian Citizens 


Canadian citizens can apply for TN status directly at a U.S. port of entry (like a land border crossing or an airport). They don't need to visit a U.S. consulate or embassy beforehand to get a visa stamp. They present their application, required documents, and pay the fee to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer at the time of entry. 


For Mexican Nationals 


Mexican nationals may file a TN petition with USCIS or apply at a U.S. consulate. They must obtain a TN visa stamp in their passport to be admitted to the U.S. in TN status.
