TN Visa
Definition:
The Trade NAFTA is also known as a TN status and a TN
visa. It is a special status that applies to citizens of the United States,
Canada and Mexico. The TN status allows American, Canadian and Mexican citizens
the opportunity to work for a limited set of occupations in the United States
or Canada. The TN status is similar to
the H-1B visa. The TN status set of occupations allows
an American, Canadian or Mexican to work up to a year at a time.
Consequences of TN Visas:
Under the TN status, the visa may be renewed in increments of one year. It is not a permanent visa and if there is suspicion among immigration officials that it is being used as a substitute for a green card, they may choose to deny future renewals. Restrictions to the TN status are:
1. TN visas are available to Mexican and Canadian citizens
2. Professions are identified on the NAFTA list
3. The applicant needs to meet specific criteria for the profession
