Does an agronomist engineer fit as ‘Engineer’ on the TN?

The TN visa is a non-immigrant option intended for professionals in certain categories designated by the NAFTA/USMCA agreement, and requires the applicant to demonstrate qualification in the area of the job offer. Thus, an agronomist engineer can be considered in the “Engineer” category, with important observations. The degree must be aligned with the function to be performed in the USA.

If the applicant proves equivalent academic training (such as a bachelor’s degree in engineering) and the position involves activities directly related to engineering, it is possible to classify them under the TN visa. The job duties must be detailed, showing technical responsibility in analysis, design, development, or supervision of systems or products related to agronomic engineering.

All required documentation should be carefully gathered, including diploma, transcript, offer letter with detailed description, and evidence of classification in the engineering field. Each case is evaluated individually by the competent authorities, reinforcing the need for complete and consistent documentation.

It is essential to strictly follow US immigration laws, be attentive to official requirements, avoid simplistic promises, and seek specialized professional guidance to ensure compliance and avoid failures.
