An I-797B Notice of Action is a crucial document issued by USCIS post the approval of an I-129 Petition. While it is not mandatory for obtaining a TN Visa, opting for advanced approval through USCIS can be prudent in complex situations. This advanced approval allows the beneficiary to present the I-797B at a designated port of entry for stamping and admission in TN visa status.
Case Study: Overcoming Border Denials
In this specific case, our client, a Management Consultant, faced a series of denials while attempting to apply for a TN visa at a port of entry. With each denial, a record was created with CBP, making subsequent approvals through this route increasingly challenging. Recognizing the need for a strategic approach, we opted for a different path — filing by mail with USCIS for advanced approval.
Strategic Decision for Advanced Approval
Given the client’s history of three border denials and the complexities involved, the decision to seek advanced approval through USCIS proved crucial. This approach allowed for a comprehensive review of the application materials, addressing deficiencies, and increasing the likelihood of a successful outcome.
Key Takeaways and Advice
Before embarking on your TN visa application journey, seeking advice on your qualifications and the sufficiency of your paperwork is essential. In cases involving previous denials and intricate situations, collaborating with an experienced TN Visa Lawyer becomes even more crucial. This case study exemplifies the importance of strategic planning and legal expertise in navigating TN visa challenges.
