I currently reside in Alberta and am a Canadian Citizen. I work for the petro chemical industry as a senior Electrical Engineer, all of my education was done in the USA and I have close to 15 years of experience.
At present, I am thinking about moving to the US, I have received a few interview calls from good companies. I am born in India so getting a green card would be a slog for me. I was wondering if i were to go on a TN visa, for how long can I renew it. I know at least the first 4-5 years is easy but beyond that if I am unable to get an H1B, for how long can I keep renewing my TN status? Can I stay on a TN visa status for 10 years + ?
If possible, I would like to move and stay there permanently. The US job market is very strong at present and i think this is the best time to move.
Please advise.
