The initial intent of the TN category was to make it easier for professionals moving in and out of the U.S. to work. Over the years, because of some abuse, this visa has become very hard to obtain if the applicant fails to prepare.
An application canada immigration lawyer Vancouver makes at a border crossing or airport when the applicant is en route to the U.S.. Basically the applicant needs to perform live in front of a skeptical U.S. border patrol officer.
An American Visa Calgary application now requires an elaborate letter of support describing the U.S. company, its size and ownership, the position, the actual work done in the position, any subordinates, the place of work, the compensation and why the visa is needed for the length of time requested. Also, all proof of education and experience must be in the original formats
The standards for the visa vary from year to year, from one border crossing to the other and even among the staff on duty at the border crossing. The border patrol officer may search the applicant, the location of the office of employment as well as the company on the internet. Applicants’ wallets and papers can be physically searched and employers called.
The U.S. border patrol regularly revokes TN visas when applicants cross back to the U.S. at Christmas, and any holiday and immigration law firms Vancouver at other random times.
The visa can be granted for up to 3 years and supposedly renewed many times. The renewals can be obtained at a border crossing, airport or by remaining with a U.S. immigration lawyer in the U.S.A. and filing a I-129 with the USCIS in the U.S. .
Your spouse and dependents can obtain a TD visa.
We have obtained hundreds of TN visas and green card lawyers have developed methods to avoid the abuse of applicants by the U.S. border patrol.
