TN Visa Categories: Complete List of TN Visa Professions

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.

Before contacting Michael Ashoori's firm, I had spoken to a few Immigration lawyers, NONE was as patient and responsive as Michael. His firm scheduled a call with an Attorney who turned out to be the most efficient and brilliant lawyer ever.... Stephanie DiPietro was simply amazing. The detail in her notes, cover letter and crisp responses to my plentiful enquires mostly done with a smile was always reassuring. I highly recommend this firm as they are worth much more than they charge.read more

I am so glad I chose Ashoori Law for my E2 process. They handled my case professionally from start to finish.
