Alternatyva H-1B vizų Kanados ir Meksikos piliečiams: TN statusas dabar 3 metams patvirtinimo
Paskelbta lapkritis 24, 2008

For citizens of North American countries such as Canada and Mexico, kelias link, gauti nonimmigrant vizą ar leidimą dirbti Jungtinėse Amerikos Valstijose dažnai būna daug paprastesnis nei taikant H-1B. Since the enactment of NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement) į 1994, workers in certain employment categories have been welcomed to the U.S. along with their families in one-year increments, with the freedom in some cases to renew indefinitely. As we approach 2009 – the year by which the NAFTA accords were set to be finalized – the parameters of the TN (Trade-NAFTA) program have continued to expand. As of last month, TN applicants are eligible for initial approval of up to three years (as opposed to only one year), vėl su galimybę kai kuriais atvejais - neribotą atnaujinimo (iki 3 metų žingsniu), ir pareiškėjų’ immediate family members may join them on derivative TD status for the same amount of time.

How do I apply for the TN Visa? How do I know if I’m eligible?
Those eligible for the TN program include professional workers (pavyzdžiui, accountants, engineers, lawyers, pharmacists, scientists, teachers, and certain other professionals and skilled workers) per the categories defined by NAFTA who have received an offer of employment from a U.S-based company.

The process of gaining entry differs slightly for Canadian and Mexican citizens, with Canadians facing less red tape. For Canadians, vizos nereikia, ir dokumentus, palengvina galimybę įvažiuoti TN / TD statuso gali būti pateikta muitinės ir pasienio apsaugos pareigūnai daugiausia įvažiavimo. For Mexicans, a visa is required, and a visa application with supporting documentation must be presented at a U.S. konsulinė įstaiga Meksikoje. Abiem atvejais, Reikalingi dokumentai yra:

• išsamų laišką iš darbdavio featuring, įmonės profilį ir pasiūlyti darbo specifiką
• professional and/or educational credentials, g. licenses, laipsnių, ir tt
• proof of citizenship
• necessary fees

Kaip nurodyta, Mexican applicants are required to first obtain a visa through a U.S. Consular post, kuri apima užbaigti internete Nonimmigrant prašymų išduoti vizą kiekvienas jų šeimos narys (savarankiškai įtraukti), scheduling an interview with the post, paying the necessary fees, completing a biometrics requirement, ir užtikrinti, kad visi pakankamai išsamia dokumentacija yra pasirengusi iš anksto interviu. Decisions are issued shortly after the interview.

How does the TN Visa differ from the H-1B?
The TN program can be a nice alternative for U.S. employers and North American workers, because the requirements are simpler than those for the H-1B program. Taip pat, NAFTA’s job categories are broader, leidžiant ne specialistui darbuotojų, tokių kaip “mokslo technikai” ir “valdymo konsultantai” turi būti patvirtintas laikinasis įvežimas. Papildomai – and quite significantly – the TN program is not subject to the yearly cap that makes the H-1B so difficult to obtain. Be to, because there is no deadline or availability start-date for TN applications, the approvals are decided on a “rolling basis.” This means there is nothing like the annual “race” for H-1B visas, and the entire TN process is, apskritai, much faster and more efficient.

Why does this program exist? What is the point of NAFTA?
Galiausiai, the North American Free Trade Agreement was created to foster economic relations between Canada, Meksika, and the U.S. pašalinti prekybos kliūtis – pavyzdžiui, tarifai, žemės ūkio prekių, ir kliūtis tarp šalių darbo biržoje. The TN program allows U.S. firms to hire workers from Mexico and Canada more easily, and the increase to three years for initial approval – finalized last month – will cut down on time and paperwork for firms who wish to employ foreign labor on a longer-term basis.
