Can I include my fiancé in the TD?

When it comes to the TN visa and the respective dependent statuses (known as TD), it is important to clarify that the United States immigration rules are quite specific about who can be included as a dependent. In most cases, only the spouse and children under the age of 21 are entitled to TD status.

This means that including a fiancé or fiancée who is not yet married is not allowed under the TD status. For your partner to be considered a dependent of a TN visa holder, the marriage must be formalized, thereby characterizing the spouse, which would make them eligible to apply for TD status.

Therefore, if the intention is for your fiancée to accompany you under a dependent status, the viable option is to formalize the marriage. However, it is crucial to follow all United States immigration laws and pay attention to the requirements of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

I always advise seeking updated information and, if necessary, consulting reliable sources or specialists in the field, avoiding scams and marketing campaigns that promise quick and guaranteed results. It is always worth remembering that each case has its particularities, and the best guidance will be based on a detailed analysis of your history and current situation.

Staying informed and following official channels is the safest way to ensure compliance with the laws and achieve your goals legally.
