OBJECTIVE: Country Specific transfer of knowledgeable Professionals
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) created special economic and trade relationships for the United States, Canada and Mexico and authorized nonimmigrant NAFTA Professional (TN) visas for citizens of Canada and Mexico to work in the United States as NAFTA professionals. This visa status is available only for specific professional occupations and only to citizens of Mexico and Canada.
The E-3 is a new visa category only for Australians coming to the U.S. to work temporarily in a specialty occupation. This visa can be used for professional positions which require specialized knowledge along with at least a bachelor’s degree in the appropriate field.
TN visas are issued for three years, and can be renewed. E-3 visas are issued for two years and can also be renewed. E-3 spouses are entitled to work in the United States.
An advantage of both the TN and E-3 visas is that an application can be made at the port of entry or consulate rather than with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. This can save time and money when you need to hire a worker quickly.
