Hi,

I think I read every post on this forum without finding an answer to this question.

I will be employed by a US company to perform IT consulting 'System Analyst' work for their clients. These can be anywhere in the US. Would I need a new TN application everytime I change client site (potentially every few months?) I believe the TN application needs to specify in which city I will be working? And if the location needs to be specified on the application, would the city of the HQ be that location even if work can be done in other cities as well?

I will be travelling every week from Canada. Thanks.

I believe you only require the TN visa for the company who you're actually on their payroll. So I'd assume that you're going to get paid directly from the IT Consulting firm, and not from the client.

The sponsoring company's main office is fine.

Yeap, you should be fine with just the one TN (you can only have one at a time anyhow). You're actually just working for one particular company, and its them who is contracting you out. As long as its just them who are cutting your paycheque, you're good to go.

Yes, as long as your visa is with the IT Consulting Firm - you have no issues with having the one visa.

Quick correction - you can hold multiple TN Visas at the same time with different employers. You have to apply for each visa separately. For example you could hold 2 part time jobs which both qualify for the TN visa. You would have 2 TNs in this case.
