ouch! caustic but to the point - i like it.
Here's some info for those who want some instant gratification:
----- From WikiHow
Have the hiring company draft a petition that you will present to the Treaty Officer at the border. This letter generally includes information about the company, the qualifications of the employee and the terms of employment. Most companies pay law firms to produce this document, but it is not necessary, especially if you have a copy of previous petition.
TIPS:
The TN visa is a temporary visa. While it can be renewed indefinitely, be sure to state that your intention is to remain in the US temporarily, even if it is for a few years. If you wish to become a resident, plan on filing for an H1-B visa after you have received your TN visa.
The mood of the officer is critical, solid job offer, proper qualifications and documents, and good manner do not guarantee anything. Make preparation to minimize the impact on your financial well being in case your TN Visa application is denied.
Get a good lawyer to represent you. Your application is too important to leave to chance. That said, the process is fairly simple and having a lawyer with you at the border can red flag your application to the officer.
If you're properly qualified you should have no problem being awarded the visa, as long as you don't say anything contradictory to the TN Visa requirements.
Dress professionally when going to the border in order to support the legitimacy of your application.
Bring enough Canadian dollars so you can go home if you are denied of TN Visa application.
No cell phone call is allowed in the office of checkpoint, the US Homeland Security officers who are fully armed will take away your phone if you try to make cell phone call for help.
The TN Visa is meant to be an easy visa to obtain for most situations. Using a TN Visa Application Guide is a viable option if your qualifications and job meet the NAFTA requirements. For complicated situations, consult an attorney before proceeding.
