What is the TN visa?
The nonimmigrant TN visa allows citizens of Canada and Mexico to come to the U.S. to work in as a NAFTA professional in designated categories. There are dozens of professions that fall under the designated TN category. Contact an immigration attorney or VISANOW immigration consultant to determine whether or not your employee would fall into any of the TN categories.
Canadian citizens can apply for a TN visa directly at the border/port of entry. VISANOW can prepare the TN application for the individual to present to the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer.
Mexican citizens must apply for a TN visa at a U.S. consulate abroad. VISANOW can prepare the TN application for the individual to present to the Consulate.
How long is the TN visa valid?
A TN visa holder is admitted for one year. TN visas may be renewed indefinitely in yearly increments.
