Why Work With Our Attorney for a TN Visa?

If you’re applying through a border crossing, consulate, or from inside the U.S., our team at 360 Immigration Law Group in Coral Springs will guide you through the TN visa process with clear steps and steady support.

Who Can Apply For a TN Visa?

The TN visa allows certain Canadian and Mexican professionals to work temporarily in the U.S. under NAFTA (now USMCA). It’s used for specific occupations listed in the treaty, and the job must require the degree or credentials that the applicant holds.

Eligible roles include:

• Accountants
• Engineers
• Medical technologists
• Scientific technicians
• Teachers
• Computer systems analysts
• Registered nurses

TN Visa Requirements

To qualify for TN status, applicants must meet several requirements:

• Citizenship
  You must be a citizen of Canada or Mexico (permanent residents do not qualify).
• NAFTA-Listed Occupation
  Your job offer must fall under one of the listed professional categories.
• Qualifications
  You must have the degree, license, or credentials required for the position.
• Temporary Intent
  You must plan to work in the U.S. temporarily (no green card sponsorship through TN directly).

Employers must also provide a job offer letter outlining your position, responsibilities, and salary.

The TN Visa Application Process

Here’s how the TN visa process typically works, depending on where you’re applying from:

• 1. Confirm Eligibility
  Check that the job offer and applicant qualifications match a TN profession.
• 2. Gather Required Documents
  Includes proof of citizenship, job offer letter, and professional credentials.
• 3. Apply at Border, Consulate, or via USCIS
  Canadians may apply directly at a port of entry. Mexicans must apply through a U.S. consulate. If already in the U.S., you can file Form I-129.
• 4. Receive TN Status
  If approved, you’ll receive a TN classification for up to 3 years.
• 5. Extension or Change of Status (if needed)
  You can extend your stay or request a change in immigration status while inside the U.S.
