Introduction to TN Visa Challenges
The TN Visa, under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), facilitates the entry of Canadian and Mexican citizens into the U.S. to engage in professional business activities on a temporary basis. While the process appears straightforward, the specifics of one’s profession and academic qualifications can introduce complexities.
Case Study: Software Engineer with a Chemical and Biological Engineering Degree
We recently supported a client who faced a unique challenge: leveraging a degree in chemical and biological engineering to secure a TN Visa for a software engineering position. This situation exemplifies the nuanced nature of the TN Visa application process, where not all qualifications directly match the job role.
Strategic Approach to TN Visa Application
Our approach emphasized the relevancy of closely related degrees in fulfilling the educational requirements for specific TN Visa categories. By carefully presenting our client’s extensive knowledge and applicable skills in software engineering, we demonstrated his eligibility for the position despite the apparent degree-job mismatch.
“Christine Jurusik is friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. She and her paralegals took such great care of my TN visa case and answered all my questions in a timely and informative fashion. Definitely reduced my immigration stress having her as my lawyer. Also Jeremy Richards’ videos are an amazing resource.”
