The TN Visa does not have these drawbacks.

TN Visa Employer/Application Letter

The TN Visa Employer/Application Letter is the key component in your TN Visa application. It is not the job offer letter. This letter is for the Immigration Officer and shows how your job qualifies for the TN Visa, how you qualify for the job, how you qualify under NAFTA and addressing other criteria to meet the NAFTA specifications.

In most cases, with a little knowledge and help, you can write this letter yourself. Here is an article on how to write a great TN visa application letter to assist you (from TNVisaExpert).

TN Visa Border Process

Being prepared for the border is one of the most important aspects of the TN Visa process. The immigration officer’s primary purpose is to protect his country – if he has any reason to doubt you or your application – YOU WILL BE DENIED. A worst case scenario could have you barred from the U.S. for up to 5 years.

Knowing what documentation to bring, what questions to expect, and how to be prepared for the interview process will increase your success rate dramatically.
