The TD visa is intended for dependents of TN visa holders, allowing spouses and children to accompany the professional in U.S. territory. Many parents wonder about their rights in the educational area, especially whether their children can attend preschool without additional cost.
In general, in the United States, resident children have access to public education without tuition fees, from elementary school through high school. This means that, in most cases, children of TD visa holders can be enrolled in public daycare or elementary schools without direct costs related to tuition.
It is important to note, however, that some school districts may charge fees for materials, extracurricular activities, or transportation, which are distinct from tuition costs. Each state and, sometimes, each school district may have specific regulations, so it is advisable to contact the local school or the education department of the area where they will reside to ensure compliance with the rules.
Following immigration laws and seeking reliable information is essential to preserve rights and guarantee a smooth experience in the country.
