TN Visa

<p>The <b>TN (Trade NAFTA, now USMCA)</b> visa allows citizens of Canada and Mexico to work in the U.S. in certain listed occupations (like accountants, engineers, scientific professions, etc.) without a cap.</p><p>It's valid in 3-year increments (renewable indefinitely). Unlike H-1B:</p><ul><li>It requires nonimmigrant intent</li><li>Spouses can't work</li></ul><p>However, it's an alternative to H-1B for those nationals in eligible jobs, and it doesn't require a lottery. Many Canadian/Mexican citizens may consider TN vs H-1B depending on the situation. There's no prevailing wage requirement explicitly, though market wages are considered as proof of temporary entry.</p>
