TN & working experience

[board_salomon]

Hi Everybody
I have a question regarding TN visa that I cannot seem to find an answer anywhere. I hope someone can help me.

Here is my situation, I have a computer science degree and have been working as a COMPUTER PROGRAMMER ANALYST in canada for few years. I understand the US job offer for TN visa has to be SYSTEMS ANALYST position. So for TN visa application, will I get denied because I current experience is not SYSTEMS ANALYST even though my US job offer qualifies as SYSTEMS ANALYST?
From what I read, they only talk about US job offer and education requirements, but not much about working experience (ie current job title has to match US job title) ?

thanks a lot.

Mark

You have a Computer Science degree. I do not believe you need to show prior work experience with the degree. You should be more worried about matching the US position description against the Systems Analyst requirements

As tiger says, experience needed if and only if you don;t have a degree, and then only if the particualr category allows experience (either alone or with a 2-year diploma) as a qualifying criteria.

A person with a degree realted to the TN catergory for their job offer, can get TN without ever having worked.
