The TN visa, created under NAFTA (now USMCA), allows professionals from specific sectors to work temporarily in the USA.

The possibility of having the visa stamped in the passport varies according to nationality. Mexican citizens apply for the visa at consulates or embassies and receive a physical stamp in their passport as proof.

Canadian citizens, in general, do not need a pre-approved visa; their entry is authorized electronically via Form I-94, which does not result in a physical stamp, although in specific cases, a printed record may be requested.

It is essential to respect US immigration laws and consult reliable sources to avoid scams or false promises. Evaluating each case individually and seeking qualified professional guidance is the best approach for the process under TN status.
