If I change employers, can I keep the same I-94?

The TN visa is intended for qualified professionals from countries like Mexico and Canada, allowing them to work in the United States in specific roles. However, it is granted by linking the professional to an employer and a concrete job offer.

When you change employers, the originally issued I-94 no longer reflects the current situation, as this document demonstrates your entry authorization into the US and permission to work under the offer that was presented in the original application.

Therefore, to continue working legally with a TN visa after changing employers, you must initiate a new process or status update. In many cases, this involves filing a new petition, submitting a new job offer, and obtaining a new I-94 that corresponds to the terms of the new employment relationship.

It is crucial to always strictly follow the United States immigration laws, as any discrepancy can complicate your situation. Seek reliable sources and, if necessary, consult specialized professionals or companies for detailed guidance. Avoid trusting promises of guaranteed results or marketing campaigns that assure easy solutions. Each case is unique and must be carefully analyzed to ensure compliance with legal requirements during any employer transition.
