Do I need to have a previous employment relationship with the company?

The TN visa was created to facilitate the entry of qualified professionals from countries such as Canada and Mexico into specific fields in the United States. The main idea behind this visa is to allow professionals with specific qualifications to significantly contribute to the American market through a qualified job offer.

Answering your question: it is not necessary to have a previous employment relationship with the company offering the job. What the process requires is a consistent job offer that meets the specifications of the TN visa professional category, as well as proof that you possess the academic and professional qualifications required for the position.

This means that a previous employment relationship with this company is not a requirement; what matters is that the current offer is legitimate and that you meet the criteria established by the immigration authorities.

It is essential to strictly follow United States immigration laws, as any discrepancy or inaccurate information can compromise the process. If you have specific questions or need more detailed guidance, it is wise to seek advice from professionals or specialized companies with up-to-date knowledge on the subject, always taking care not to fall for promises of guaranteed results promoted by misleading marketing campaigns.

Remember that each case is unique, and although the information provided may offer a general overview, personalized advice is essential to ensure that all legal requirements are properly met.
