TN Visas for Canadian and Mexican Citizens
If you are an employer, or a Canadian or Mexican professional, then a TN visa might be the right immigration option for you. A TN visa allows professionals from Canada or Mexico to get expedited work authorization, typically for a three year period with the possibility of renewal.
At Robichaud, Schroepfer & Correia, P.A., our knowledgeable immigration lawyers can assist you from start to finish, through the application process until after approval and your entry to the United States. We help clients all over the world remotely through the internet, but we can meet in person at either our office located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, or our office in Louisville, Kentucky.
Spouses and children can be granted visas as well.
A spouse or a child of a TN visa holder can apply for a related visa called a TD visa. The TD visa permits the spouse or child to live in the United States and to attend school, but unfortunately it does not currently permit you to work.
The TN Visa is for professionals.
The TN visa applies to only certain listed professions, however, the law is rarely black and white, so an attorney can advocate for you to argue that your line of work fits into one of the listed professions. If you don’t find your occupation below, speak with an attorney to see if you may still qualify, or if another visa would be best for you. The listed occupations include the following:
- Accountant
