Can I work for company A in New York and company B in Chicago simultaneously?

The TN visa was created to facilitate the entry of qualified professionals from NAFTA (or USMCA) member countries to work in the United States in pre-determined activities. It is quite specific, both regarding the function to be performed and the employer sponsoring it. Therefore, it is important to understand how employment works under this category.

In case you intend to provide services for company A in New York and company B in Chicago at the same time, it is generally necessary that each job is clearly authorized under your TN status. The TN visa is issued for a specific function and for an employer defined in the original petition.

If you wish to work for two companies, there may be a need to request additional authorizations or separate petitions for each employer, so that you are formally aligned with the United States immigration rules. This situation may require careful analysis to determine, for example, if the activities of both companies fit within the permitted categories and if the working relationship for both employers can be exercised simultaneously without violating the conditions of your visa.

It is essential to strictly follow United States immigration laws and ensure that all authorizations are properly aligned with what has been approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). To avoid future problems or possible complications with your status, it is recommended to seek guidance from specialized professionals or services, avoiding falling into offers or campaigns that promise fast or guaranteed results without the proper analysis of your specific situation.

Remember: immigration rules are complex and, despite the information presented here, the best course of action is to consult reliable sources and, if necessary, a qualified professional who can analyze your case in a personalized manner. This way, you will have full confidence to carry out your work plans in the United States in accordance with current regulations.
