TN Visa Categories: Complete List of TN Visa Professions
The TN visa is a great option for Canadian and Mexican citizens to work in the USA. Through the TN visa, you can work for a US company for years at a time. Best of all, your US employer can hire you by simply offering you a job without getting an approved labor certification through the Department of Labor.
The TN visa is only available to citizens of Canada and Mexico. In addition, the TN visa is only available for people to work in certain job categories. To qualify for a TN visa, your US job must be on the list of TN visa professions.
In this guide, I will list all of the TN visa categories.
If you want to know whether your job qualifies as one of the listed TN visa categories, or if you have any questions about the TN visa, email me directly at Michael@AshooriLaw.com. I would be happy to help you with your TN visa.
