Does the ”Professional” category cover professions such as psychologist?

The TN visa is an option for professionals in certain fields that fall under specific categories listed in the agreement between the United States, Canada, and Mexico (formerly NAFTA, currently under the terms of USMCA). This visa type is restricted to professions explicitly described in the official list, and it is important to review each profession and its specific requirements.

When it comes to psychology, this field is not included as one of the eligible professions in the original TN visa list. This means that, traditionally, the profession of psychologist does not automatically qualify under the ”professional” label for the purposes of this visa.

Therefore, if your goal is to work in the United States as a psychologist through the TN visa, it may be necessary to explore other immigration paths or categories, considering the requirements and regulations pertinent to the practice of this profession within the U.S.

It is always worth emphasizing the importance of complying with U.S. immigration laws and seeking information from reliable sources. Consulting specialized professionals can help identify the best strategy for your specific case, thus avoiding potential scams or miraculous promises of results that do not correspond to immigration regulations.

Each process has its particularities, and for that reason, staying updated on current rules and maintaining proper follow-up is fundamental for a successful procedure.
