TN visa status, designated for nonimmigrant professionals from Canada and Mexico under the USMCA, is inherently temporary. It implies an initial intent not to reside permanently in the U.S. However, life circumstances and intentions can evolve. We have extensive experience assisting TN visa holders in transitioning to green cards, particularly through marriage to U.S. citizens. A recent case exemplifies this journey.
From TN Visa to Permanent Residency
Our client, a Canadian national, was married to a U.S. citizen and working in Canada when he received a job offer in the U.S. and obtained a TN visa. After relocating, the couple decided to make their stay in the United States permanent. Our legal team stepped in to assist with the green card application process, enabling them to transition from a TN visa to permanent residency without leaving the U.S.
Process and Approval
We meticulously prepared their case, ensuring all forms were accurately completed and supported by the necessary evidence. This comprehensive approach helped streamline the application process. The transition from a TN visa to a green card was smooth and successful, resulting in our client becoming a U.S. permanent resident.
“Jeremy and his team made filing our case a breeze! He prepared our case and forms for us, as well as listed out all the supporting evidence we needed. Would definitely recommend especially if you are looking for adjustment from a TN Visa to a GC! Overall a great experience and an excellent and nice team to work with!”
Conclusion
This case underscores our expertise in guiding TN visa holders through the intricate process of obtaining a green card, particularly through marriage. It also illustrates the flexibility within U.S. immigration law to accommodate changing life circumstances.
