What is a TN Expert Opinion Letter?
A TN Expert Opinion Letter (EOL) from ProfVal is designed to address USCIS TN requirements related to obtaining a prearranged and temporary full or part-time position in the United States, and the qualifications of the beneficiary applying for this position.
A TN Expert Opinion Expert Opinion Letter will help you to provide the necessary evidence by working with a discipline expert to examine a job position and its duties, creating a report explaining:
-
How the position qualifies for a TN nonimmigrant classification.
-
How the position’s duties are so specialized and complex that it requires a NAFTA professional with no less than the equivalent of a university degree, professional certificate, etc.
-
That you are well-prepared to fill this role.
ProfVal’s TN Expert Opinion Letters provide value to a visa application, as it provides for USCIS agents an honest, independent appraisal of a temporary position, explained in simple terms, to help them more easily understand how the position and the beneficiary meet TN and NAFTA requirements.
Additional details on TN applications
The TN nonimmigrant classification permits qualified Canadian and Mexican citizens to seek temporary entry into the United States to engage in business activities at a professional level. TN visas are uncapped, low cost, indefinitely renewable, and positively impact the U.S. economy, especially in areas with ongoing labor shortages. The visa is aligned with the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which created special economic and trade relationships for the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
To apply for the TN visa, a beneficiary must be a citizen of Canada or Mexico, they must have a prearranged and temporary full or part-time job with a U.S. employer, the job must require a NAFTA professional, the job must qualify under a TN nonimmigrant classification, and the beneficiary must meet the qualifications of the position. The USCIS will issue an RFE if an agent questions whether the position meets these requirements or others.
