TN Visa

USMCA (formerly NAFTA) professional visa for Canadian and Mexican citizens in 63 designated professional occupations (engineers, accountants, scientists, teachers, etc.). Canadians can apply at port of entry without prior petition; Mexicans require consular processing. No annual cap, 3-year validity, unlimited renewals. Requires job offer letter, proof of qualifying profession and credentials. Does not allow dual intent - pursuing green card may jeopardize TN status.
