Hello everyone,

I have a TN visa-related question and I hope someone can shed some light for me….

So, here’s my situation:

I have been on F-1 student VISA in the U.S. for about 2 years now and I am “almost” done with my degree. I only have a few more credits to go before completing my graduate degree. Recently I’ve received a job offer from a U.S. company and I am thinking about switching from F-1 to TN status to take the job. Once I have obtained TN status, I plan on taking classes part time to finish off my study while working full time.


Here’s what I am not sure of:

- Can someone with TN status attend school part time in the U.S. while working full time?

- Will attending school part time threaten my chance of getting a TN visa? Obviously the custom officer will want to know what I plan to do with my remaining classes and I will have to let him know my intention of studying part time with TN status.

Any suggestion/recommendation are welcomed!
 
Study is completely permitted under TN, it is considered 'incidental' to your work status. So long as you ar emeeting the terms of your TN.

In fact, in SOME states, TN is a better study visa, since it gets you non-international tuition rates.
