Background: Canadians and hold a completed bachelor degree in electrical engineering from U of Toronto in Canada. Currently on TD status (so can't work in the U.S using TD) and living in the US with my spouse (who's on TN status).
Question: If I am doing an online US master degree (being online means not providing F-1 status/visa) in Computer Science or Software Engineering, can I use my bachelor degree in electrical engineering as my credential to apply for TN status for internship (say a typical SWE intern position in Amazon and the likes) in the States - possibly using the Engineer category (more successes than CSA from my research on the forum based on my background)? I understand I would need to go out of U.S and re-apply with a change of status at the border, and have the company lawyer/HR write a good TN letter? Curious on how would the lawyer write this typically?
I guess my question is more on if one can use TN status for an internship position given the bachelor degree requirement might be already fulfilled while enrolled in a related master degree program.
Electrical engineering for a software engineer position doesn't seem to be an issue usually if well prepared.
Thanks all!
