TN Visa Requirements, USA 2020

[@La.casadeloslocos]

Hola! Tengo la propuesta de trabajo pero mi abogado que se encuentra en Miami me la declino por qué la empresa no quiso darme su estatus financiero (ya que me dijo el abogado que sin eso no se puede iniciar el trámite) es correcto ?

[@lazcano5596]

I have a bachelor's degree in Marketing, and marketing covers many professional job opportunities. I see Marketing is not included in the list.

[@InmigracionAbogado]

Lazcano, hi. You are correct. Unfortunately there is no TN Visa for people with marketing degrees who have job offers to work in marketing in the USA. Sorry for the bad news.

Hello, thank you for the video. I have a question, I’m logistics engineer with purchasing experience in Mexico and I got an job offer in purchasing, I would like to know if I’m available to apply to TN visa?

[@InmigracionAbogado]

Hi. Hard to say with the information you provided, but me try: (1) the job offered needs to be related to your field of study, (2) if the purchasing of the kind that requires an engineering knowledge, then yes, you should get the visa, (3) but if the purchasing you are going to do is general purchasing, the kind a non-engineer can do just as well as you, then you will not get the visa. Good luck. Hope this answer helps. The trick is to be able to explain these issues clearly.

Thanks for the kind comment. I appreciate it.

If i have a bachelors degree in finance but i currently work in IT, would i qualify? And if not, is getting a diploma/masters in IT make up for it or it must be a bachelor's?

[@InmigracionAbogado]

Hi. No, unfortunately the degree in finance will keep you from getting this visa. A masters degree will work. Good luck.

Hi I'm having data science master's degree. if i able to get a job in computer system analyst, will i get tn visa as my degree is from data science field and my job is computer system analyst thank you

[@InmigracionAbogado]

Yes, I think you make a good candidate for a TN visa. I don't see a problem.

[@armasi2705]

What if you are in the us with DACA

[@InmigracionAbogado]

Cesar, if you are on DACA you do not need the TN work visa because DACA gives you a work permit, which is basically the same thing that you get from a TN visa.

[@armasi2705]

@@InmigracionAbogado the difference with DACA is that I can't travel to my country... And can I travel to my country with tn visa and I don't think TN visa aplies to licence vocational nurses like my I think I need to be a Registered Nurse

[@InmigracionAbogado]

Yes, there is the traveling issue which is a big one. And yes, you need to be a Registered Nurse.

[@armasi2705]

@@InmigracionAbogado so I can I travel with TN visas is that the only one visa that apply for registered Nurses or there are more ? I am not an overseas student I did all my school in California USA .

[@InmigracionAbogado]

There is also an H1B for nurses. But unfortunately, people on DACA can not get an H1B. In simple terms, to get DACA you have to have been out of status. To get the H1B you have to have been in status.

I'm offered a position to UX Design at a company in SF. I have a masters degree in Business Mgmt MBA. However, I switched my career from business to UX Design 7yrs ago when UX was still very cutting edge and had no definitive standards. Until today, the vast majority of UX Designers are coming from business, engineering..etc or mainly anything that's not design or arts related.. I have a letter of experience from every employer I worked with before. Would that still qualify?

[@InmigracionAbogado]

Hi. I would need to know more to answer your question. But in general terms, I think that you probably do qualify.

[@souhardyaadhikary8795]

do management professionals such as in finance qualify for TN visa

[@InmigracionAbogado]

They sure can assuming the other requirements are met.

I am thinking of starting a startup c corporation in Delaware. What visa would I need to be able to work as a ceo and get paid?

[@InmigracionAbogado]

Hi. Seems like an E2 Visa would be the right place to start.

[@ProvidenceAcresFarm]

As a certified plumber in canada, Is there any way i could get a visa or apply for non immigrant status?

[@InmigracionAbogado]

Hi. Based on the information I have, I do not see a way of qualifying you for a work visa. Sorry for the bad news.

[@rat56234]

Does the job offer or letter have to indicate “3 years”? I am being offered a full time long term job. I’m not sure if they will include the time frame of work to be within 3 years for the purpose of the letter.

[@InmigracionAbogado]

Hi. It wont help to do it for 3 years because right now the TN visa is only good for 1 year.

Mexican citizen here! I will be working with a company under post-competition OPT as a business operations specialist until my permit is over. I have a BS from an American university in TV Production and Business. Would I be able to qualify for the TN visa as a business operations specialist?

[@InmigracionAbogado]

Hi. You will qualify for a TN if your profession is on the TN visa list of Professions. Unfortunately, your degree is not on the list.

[@FC-fq9nt]

@@InmigracionAbogado Thank you for your response :( so would an H-1B visa be my only option?

[@InmigracionAbogado]

H1B seems like the best option.

Hi I got a job offer as an office assistant at a law firm and the job requires a bachelors degree for the position. I m not sure if I will be qualified for TN visa or no? Do I need to bring my original certificates to show at the port of entry? I’m a Canadian.

[@InmigracionAbogado]

Hi. Well bad news. Office Assistant is not a job eligible for the TN visa, regardless of the degree you have. Sorry for the bad news.

[@farihafarzeen5293]

@@InmigracionAbogado hi again, do the visa officers check original bachelors certificates? I just have scanned copies of my certificates will that work?

[@InmigracionAbogado]

Always a good idea to have originals but approvals have been achieved with just copies.

Hi! Thanks for the video, I have a BA in Finance Administration in Mexico and getting a job offer as a Sr. Talent Acquisition Consultant (Recruiter for a Life Sciences Supply Chain Recruitment Agency), do you think I could qualify for a TN visa?

I have a bachelors degree in psychology and I work in the social services field. If I apply for a job as a social worker would I qualify under the job description “social work” since that’s the job I currently do but with a degree in psychology? Or would I require a specific degree in social worker ? Thank you!

[@InmigracionAbogado]

Hi. You are in a gray area, so you can try and may be approved since you can make a good argument. However, my reading of the law is that you need a degree in social work.

[@icichick]

@@InmigracionAbogado okay thank you. In regards to the argument I would be making, would this be in the interview. I would have to justify my degree and how it relates to the job?

[@InmigracionAbogado]

In the paperwork.

@@InmigracionAbogado sorry can you clarify the paperwork? Is this the application or the paperwork from my perspective employer?
