Does anyone know if "Software Quality Assurance Manager" is a qualified job title for TN visa? If not, what is the closest one? Thanks.
 
Manager is unacceptable, so the title will have to be played down. The FUNCTIONS of your job are what will be the determining factor.

What is your degree in?
 
Thanks for your information.

I have a M. Sc. degree in computer science.

What job title do you recommend?
 
Software Engineer

I'd take a look at the Engineer TN category, which includes software engineering. The Occupational Outlook Handbook, which is used by U.S. immigration to evaluate a position, provides additional information on software engineers. It's available here: http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos267.htm

I have bachelor and master degree in electrical engineering. I had only three subject related to computer. I have more then 12 years of experience as technical lead/architect/developer.

What are my chances of success if I apply for TN as “Software Engineer”?
 
NJ, I would say you have a much better chance at getting an approval using "software Engineer" than the poster who started this thread, since YOU ARE AN ENGINEER, which the poster is not.

As an degreed engineer, you don't need to show any transcripts at the border.

All engineers work with software. Not all people who work with software are engineers.

Thanks for quick reply.

I read about this before many places that engineers are qualified for "Software Engineer" but some places I got conflicting information. With your reply I feel encouraged.

My experience is in commercial application (e.g. account/Order/Inventory management) and not in system application. Will it make difference?
 
The details are not germane to this discussion (which is not your thread btw).

You are an engineer, and getting an engineering job.

TN was designed for this.
