The only new
immigration provision created by the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) is the TN Visa. NAFTA provides for the temporary
entry of
Mexican and Canadian business persons to engage in activities at
a
professional level.
To qualify for
a TN Visa the applicant must submit the following evidence:
- proof of
Canadian or Mexican citizenship
- offer of
employment in the United States in one of the
- professions
listed in NAFTA
- proof the
applicant is qualified to work in the profession
- filing fees
A qualified
TN Visa applicant will be admitted for up to one year. Canadian
and Mexican TN Visa applicants are permitted to extend their visas
indefinitely on an annual basis. TD Visa status is available for
spouses and
unmarried minor children of the TN Visa applicant, which permits
them to
live and attend school in the United States during the duration
of the TN
Visa.
