Hi, there.

Question about TN-Visa Computer System Analyst, I am just a bit stress to get the Visa. Hope someone here can share information for me. Thanks.

I am from Canada, I got a job offer from a US consultant company and they are going to send me to a big US company to work there.

Here is my background, I have two diploma and 10 years experience.
Two-Year Diploma of Computer Programmer
and
Three-Year Diploma of Computer Programmer Analyst.

My questions are

1. What is my chance getting a TN-Visa as a Computer System Analyst, I am not sure if the officer question I am a programmer not system analyst.

2. Can I get the TN-Visa 2 days before my actual departure time.

3. Will that be any question to have a company hiring letter from the consultant company not the actual big US company?


Thanks in advance.
Cheers. :)
 
as long as the word programmer never appears in any part of the TN letter, you should be fine.
 
Most people doing software just use software engineer title under the engineer category. Since you don't have a computer related degree, you can't use the software engineer title.
 
When I got a TN I came in with similar eduction credentials. Yes, I was a programmer, but I had to "modify" my resume, and job description to remove the word "programmer", and user "Computer Systems Analyst" instead.
I got royally yelled at by the POE officer that I am a "coder" not a Computer Systems Analyst", and of course I was denied the first time.

You might want to plagrise some of the ONET job description for Computer Systems Analyst and use those terms in your resume / TN letter.
