Each visa has its own specific criteria. The TN visa, for Mexican and Canadian citizens in specific professions, is evaluated based on qualifications and the job offer.

A rejected B-1/B-2 visa history does not automatically prevent TN approval. Consular officers review the entire history to identify possible issues related to compliance with US immigration rules.

Previous rejections due to incomplete documentation or lack of proof of ties may be considered in the new application. It is essential to provide clear explanations and to demonstrate compliance with the TN requirements.

Following immigration laws, seeking reliable sources, and organizing documentation strengthens the application.
