What the 3 Year TN Visa Ruling Means to You

On October 16, 2008, a very important ruling was passed that is very beneficial to Canadians who want to work in the U.S. and for Mexicans who want to work in the U.S.

USCIS approved the ruling to extend the TN Visa status from one year to three years!!!

What does this mean to you? It means that you can now go to the border, submit your TN Visa Application and in the TN Visa Employer letter you can request a 3 year TN Status. If your application is correctly done and valid then you will be granted a 3 year TN Visa. In the past you could only request a one-year TN Status.

When this ruling was passed, there was a lot of confusion since the CBP (Customs Border Protection) Agents were not told by their superiors what they should do when Canadians start applying for their TN Visa with a 3 year request. This has been cleared up and now they have been told.

TN Visa Expert customers using the TN Visa Expert Application Kit have been obtaining 3 year TN Visas and this is a great success for us. We have modified our sample letters and in the Kit have explained the new process to help Canadians quickly and easily begin working in the U.S.

This increase of the TN Visa to 3 years will make it more appealing for an American employer to hire Canadians as well as for Canadians to seek the great opportunities available to them in the U.S.

It also means you will not have to deal with justifying your case each year and hoping your TN Visa renewal is granted. If you have been thinking about coming to the U.S., this is one more reason to consider it.

I will soon be posting a series on “From Canada to Working in the U.S. in under 30 days!”

I leave you with this quote:

Have a wonderful day!
