Mexican and Canadian nationals in a
number of specific (mostly technical) positions are potentially
eligible for this category, one of the benefits of the North
American Free Trade Agreement. Canadians TN visa applicants undergo
much easier process -- an application is made at the border, whereby
the applicant demonstrates Canadian citizenship, a job offer from a
U.S. employer for one of the approved positions, proof of an
un-relinquished foreign domicile in Canada, and the application fee.
Mexican nationals have to comply with H-1B procedures, as explained
below.
Valid for 12 months at a time, the
TN visa may be renewed indefinitely by making a new application at
the border or by filing an application for extension with the INS.
Obtaining TN approval largely depends upon the discretion of the
individual border officer. Because this is a relatively new
visa category, there are not many guidelines, and success is
therefore very uncertain.
