I started to work in the US since August 2006 under TN visa. I just got my renewed TN last week & will be my 5 yrs on the same company. Somehow the immigration officer questioned why I’ve been working for 4-5 yrs in the US & it doesn’t seem like a “temporary job?”. I was told i should change my visa. I don’t understand I thought you can renew your TN visa indefinitely. I’m thinking of quitting my job & apply for another company who’s willing to sponsor me. What are my chances the next time I renew my TN.HELP!!

Gobin,

I’m afraid I can’t help you out on this one. I would suggest to contact a good immigration lawyer.

Any body knows from where I can get copies of my old TN visa . I applied for UIA in Michigan but now they said you worked illegal provide us the old copies of old TN visa (2007/2008).I submitted W2 for the years 2007/2008. They said these are not a proof .I went to border immigration they refused to give me the copies of old TN visa.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The TN Visa costs 56 bucks. I was on one for 5 years. The only thing my company ever had to provide was the letter of employment.

In my case, I had been working from home for a while before needing to travel.

If it’s a brand new job, the letter which your company should provide explaining your job duties, also needs to mention how much you will be earning, and how you will be getting paid (checks, direct deposits, etc). If you have this information in the letter, don’t worry about the pay stub.

Thanks for the info. How can your bring a copy of a pay stub if you haven’t started working yet?

Hi,

I’m glad you found this quick post useful. If your company can prepare the required documentation, the only costs are associated to getting original documentation (course transcript and diploma), and the $50 US application fee. That’s it!

Thank you for this information, your comments are the first real-life comments I have been able to locate on the web.

I am researching the possibility of bringing a TN Visa worker for an engineering job at our company. I’m gathering as much information as I can, and wonder how much money this process costs both parties?

Any additional resources you have would be helpful!
