As a Mexican, do I need to get a new TN Visa before I change jobs? - Resources Blog - US Immigration FAQs - Richards and Jurusik Immigration Law - Buffalo NY

Mexican citizens have a couple of options to handle a TN Visa status change of employer at the border.

A Mexican citizen that holds a valid TN Visa is not required to first obtain a new visa before changing or adding employers. In the case of TN Visa applicants, a Mexican citizen may present either:

  • An I-797 approval notice issued by USCIS
  • A TN Visa application in support of new employment under a qualifying TN Visa profession

CBP will then issue a new I-94 and admit the applicant under a new TN Visa for the new employer. However, employment for the new employer cannot commence until the new TN Visa has been approved either by mail with USCIS or at a qualifying US port of entry.
