Yes, TN applications may be tougher thanks to recent directives coming from higher in government But there's no change for TN admissions once the I-94 is granted. Unless we get reports from TN permit holders telling us they were denied because they couldn't prove they still hold the employment...

Companies seem beholden to letters written by incompetent lawyers for a variety of reasons. Depending on your relationship with the company, you can sometimes get them to sign the letter you draft instead. Let us know how it goes.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but if you are a Canadian citizen I don't think country of birth matters for the purpose of TN?

What would these be for? In case the admitting officer is skeptical that the employment is still ongoing? I have never been asked for any documentation when re-entering the USA on a previously granted TN

Have you seen support / offer letters which do not have a desired start date? What do they say in lieu... "As soon as possible" or similar? I was denied (and told to come back) when my letter's start date was 2 weeks into the future. 1 week into the future feels like the most officers would...

Sounds like the first Officer was needlessly difficult. As a Canadian citizen I would not be afraid to ask for a supervisor. I'd make the case that TN-Permit + US based car registration + US DL + US based cell phone (I assume you have one) is sufficient to prove US residency, and if not, they...

I know it's tough to believe but there's not some hidden door involved with TN applications. You gather materials necessary to prove your application. Job offer, diploma, passport, related supporting documents. When you are about to start your new job, you go to a USA border entry point and...

Don't worry about what might happen with NAFTA. It's a waste of time. right now Canada-USA NAFTA is business as usual. I agree that it's time to at least look at other opportunities. If they're this difficult about such a straightforward letter, who knows what other problems they'll present...

If the border officer discovers that a TN applicant has both a US citizen spouse + a non-citizen child living in the USA, certainly they could doubt that he truly has "non-immigrant intent". His application or even re-entry could be denied for that reason. To overcome that doubt might require...

1. He will of course "officially enter" Canada. That's what happens when someone passes through CBSA. It's no more or less an official entry because he makes a u-turn immediately after clearance. 2. IMO you're wrong that Canadian border agents "do not like" Canadians telling them they're...

I don't think this would matter until NAFTA is actually changed, and if NAFTA were changed, renewing by mail would be be affected also. Absolutely! You can literally U-Turn and drive straight back the USA once you cross Canada border security. In fact, you may want to simply park on the USA...

There is no issue of "raising flags". Evaluation letters simply do not meet the requirements to obtain a TN permit. An actual degree is required. Or, a 2-year certificate/diploma + 3 years experience is required. Either of the above must be directly relevant to computer systems analysis.

Yes, if you apply at the old building they will walk you over to the new building, so there's no point in going to the old building.

The USA has record-low unemployment and employers are more desperate than ever to get skilled employees. Employers don't care about NAFTA renegotiation and they have no clue the difference between different foreigner work visa types. Regardless, at this time, they're more willing than ever to...

Hi Angie, I brought an attorney one TN application, and have made several other TN applications at various ports without an attorney. I have also visited other ports with an attorney for other reasons. An attorney generally can't help you on-the-spot with tricky questions. First off, an...

"What's your job title" "Where is your company" "What will you be doing" "Where do you live now" "Do you have any children" "What's the name of the college program you graduated from" "Did you switch programs part-way through college" "Where are you planning to go" "When are you planning to...

There is only 1 place to apply for a TN at San Ysidro. In my experience, you must enter Mexico, cross the bridge west, and then walk north to the new building. Present yourself to the officer and they will escort you to the room which Amberleaf talked about. When I tried to apply for my TN...

Well you have to answer truthfully, but as nelsona mentioned, there's rarely if ever any questions.

Yet the company-hired lawyers who write my letters usually include such language. Perhaps it's useless decoration, or perhaps experience has taught them it makes the application appear more bona fide? Neither me nor my lawyer have ever felt the need to change such language. I agree fully...
