Hi everybody,

I am looking for some help and advice in getting TN status.

I am a Canadian citizen born in Israel. I have lived in Israel all my life and still do. for the past 3 years I have been working for a US company in the field of development and construction. they are now offering me a job in the US which I would very much like to accept. but there are difficulties.
L1 would have been the best, but for the last year I have been working for them on my own, self employed (the first 2 years I worked for them through a local company owned by the same people). as I see it this pretty much makes an L1 impossible.
The ideal is to get TN status. for some reason I had to study Biology in which I have a B.Science.
I can see how to connect Biology and construction, especially with today's trend of environmentalism and sustainability, but I cannot see how to connect these 2 fields to TN requirements.

any advice will be truly appreciated. I am hoping to move in April. I must stress that I have no long term immigration interest to the US. I love my home country and would rather move to Canada if I ever decide to leave. this will be a 1-2 year experience.

Thank you!
 
What does Scientis category require

I read a lot about the Sci-tech, and I know that has no chance.
but there is also a regular scientist, biologist category which I could not find any additional info on. what if a regular company wants to hire a biologist for both consulting, not managment consulting but biology related consulting? and for the image - is that too far fetched for TN (or for anything)?

what about H1B, is there any chance for that type of a Visa?
 
Thank you for your reply. as mentioned, I do have degree, though non related.
Do you think inquiring on a TN with an attorney is a waste of money?

I am looking into H1B as well.

Yes, I do. Even H1 would be very imaginative. You are a developer. Developers don't need degrees, thus an H1 for a developer is far-fetched, in my opinion.
