TN Visa Attorney in Phoenix, AZ

Trusted Legal Guidance for TN Visa Applicants

Professionals from Canada and Mexico seeking employment in the U.S. often pursue TN (Trade NAFTA/USMCA) nonimmigrant status, a powerful option for eligible individuals seeking temporary employment in specific occupations. While the TN visa process may seem simpler than other employment-based categories, errors in documentation, job classification, or application timing can lead to denials, delays, or future complications.

At Essien Immigration Law, we help clients in Phoenix and surrounding communities navigate the TN visa process with clarity, accuracy, and strategic insight. Whether you're a qualified professional seeking a new position in Arizona or an employer in need of cross-border talent, our legal team is here to guide you.

Why Work with Our Phoenix Immigration Attorney for Your TN Visa Needs

TN visas are granted under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), formerly NAFTA. While these visas offer many benefits — such as no annual cap and rapid processing — they are also closely scrutinized by U.S. immigration officials.

Applicants must demonstrate:

• Citizenship in Canada or Mexico.
• A qualifying profession listed under USMCA.
• A job offer from a U.S. employer in that profession.
• Qualifications to perform the job, such as a degree or professional license.

At Essien Immigration Law, we provide strategic counsel to help applicants and employers avoid pitfalls. Our Phoenix-based team understands how local employment dynamics, job market trends, and USCIS adjudication practices can affect TN filings, especially at Arizona’s ports of entry or through service centers handling mail-in applications.

The Essien Immigration Law Approach to Building Strong TN Visa Applications

While TN visas are technically nonimmigrant and temporary, they require significant documentation and precision. A poorly prepared application may result in denial at the border or rejection by USCIS.

Our firm supports TN applicants and employers through every step:

• Pre-Filing Eligibility Review. We evaluate whether the position and applicant meet TN visa criteria under the USMCA profession list.
• Document Preparation. We draft employer support letters, collect credentials (degrees, licenses, transcripts), and organize documentation to clearly demonstrate eligibility.
• Job Classification Strategy. We help employers accurately match job titles and responsibilities to the correct USMCA-designated profession.
• Filing Support. Whether applying at a port of entry (for Canadians), a U.S. consulate (for Mexicans), or via mail with USCIS (for extensions or change of status), we prepare the complete package for submission.
• Response to RFEs or Inquiries. If additional documentation is requested, we promptly and thoroughly respond with detailed legal and factual support.
