Does the TN have an annual ‘cap’, like the H-1B?

The TN visa was created to facilitate the entry of professionals from certain sectors into the United States market, under the trade agreement between North American countries. Many doubts arise, especially in comparison with the H-1B visa, mainly regarding the existence of an annual limit on grants.

The good news for those interested in the TN visa is that it is not subject to an annual ”cap”, unlike the H-1B visa, which does have a limited number of visas issued each year.

In the case of the TN, as long as the applicant meets the specific professional category requirements and demonstrates that they are qualified to perform the described activity, the issuance of the visa does not depend on lotteries or a fixed number of slots.

It is important to remember that, regardless of the type of visa, strictly following the United States immigration laws is essential. Always seek information from reliable sources and be wary of miraculous promises or marketing campaigns that guarantee results without due care regarding legal procedures.

Consulting qualified specialists, either through legal guidance or specialized consulting, can help avoid future problems in the immigration process.
