How Can I Get a TN Visa to Work in New York City?

Obtaining a TN visa to work as a nonimmigrant in New York City is an exciting opportunity offered to foreign nationals with Canadian and Mexican citizenship. While the prospect of working in NYC can be alluring, some applicants are intimidated by the complexity of the process, causing them to secure a visa inefficiently or completely give up on their dreams. A compassionate and knowledgeable New York City TN visa lawyer from our law firm can help you with the following process to get your TN visa:

• Determining Your Eligibility. TN visa requirements can be stringent. Therefore, it’s critical to make sure that you meet all of the background requirements, such as having certain qualifications and education, as well as working in a NAFTA professional occupation. A thoughtful immigration lawyer can ensure that you are eligible, and if you do not meet the requirements, they can help you determine other potential options to work in NYC.
• Supporting the Job Search. While an attorney from our firm cannot secure a job for you, they can advise you on the types of jobs that fall under NAFTA professions, which you should be looking for and applying to.
• Preparing Your Application. To apply for a TN visa, you will need to gather pertinent documentation, including evidence of your qualifications, such as diplomas and licenses, the letter of employment from your potential employer, and evidence that you are a Canadian or Mexican citizen.
• Applying at the Border. Canadian citizens are able to skip the following steps by presenting their documentation at the border to a Customs and Border Patrol Officer. They will make a same-day decision about your eligibility. If your application is approved, you will be granted entry to New York as a TN nonimmigrant.
• Filling Out the DS-160. Form DS-160 is the Nonimmigrant Visa Application that you will need to complete fully, which includes information about yourself, your objectives in the United States, and your intended period of stay.
• Submitting Your Visa Application. Mexican citizens are required to apply for a TN visa at a US embassy or consulate before they can enter the United States. Therefore, they will be required to submit the DS-160 and the supporting application. They’ll also need to pay the application fee.
• Attending an Interview. Mexican citizens who are required to apply for a TN visa must attend an interview in order to be granted their visa. If the application is approved, they will be given a visa stamp, which will allow them to enter the US and travel to New York City.

Canadian citizens may also have their prospective TN employer file a Form I-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker, on their behalf if they do not want to have their visa application decided at the border. If this petition is approved, the Canadian citizen can present the Form I-129 Approval Notice from USCIS and their passport at the border to be admitted entry.

Whether you are a Canadian or Mexican citizen, our dedicated lawyers are here to help the TN visa or TN status application process go as smoothly as possible. From helping you meet requirements to collecting critical documentation and advising you about immigration processes, our immigration law firm can help you achieve your goal of working in New York City.
