USCIS lengthens TN admissions to three years
On October 16, 2008 a new rule became effective that
would lengthen TN admissions from one year to three years. This
rule makes the TN category a more workable alternative to the H-1B
and L categories. At present, TNs are available to workers from
Mexico and Canada who have job offers in the United States in one of
approximately sixty professional categories. In order to obtain a
three year TN, it is important that the support letter (and I-129 if
application is made through the Service Center) explicitly request a
three year validity period. |
