TN Visa Approval - Systems Analyst; Director Job Title; Engineering Degree

BACKGROUND:    

  • The applicant had a job offer for a Director of Product Management position, and held degrees in Industrial Engineering and Business.

TN VISA SERVICE USED:    

SOLUTION:    

  • Whenever an applicant does not have a job title that exactly matches a TN visa occupational category, eligibility can be questioned. This is even more so for executive/managerial job titles, which US immigration officials often contend do not qualify for TN visa status.

  • However, eligibility can be established by showing that the position still involves performing job duties in the applicable TN category - in this case explaining that the applicant was still performing Computer System Analyst functions. Research was also included in an application packet to evidence that Systems Analysts may have executive job titles.

  • Similarly, whenever an applicant does not possess a degree in the specific TN occupational category, US immigration may question eligibility. To establish that the applicant qualified, we highlighted the applicant’s relevant coursework, and provided evidence showing that both a degree in Business and Engineering were relevant to the Computer Systems Analyst profession.

FILING PROCESS:    

  • TN visa status application filed at the Buffalo, NY Peace Bridge USCBP office.

PROCESSING TIME:    

  • TN visa status approved the same day.

TN VISA APPROVAL PERIOD:  

  • 3 years
