The TN visa is part of a special visa category granted to professionals from Canada and Mexico, allowing them to legally work in the United States in certain professions. When the U.S. employer chooses to apply for TN status for a professional, the Form I-129 may be used to petition the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This procedure is particularly relevant when processing occurs internally within the United States rather than directly at the border.
Currently, the petition fee for Form I-129 is USD 460, a value that applies regardless of the classification used, including the TN category. It is worth noting that this amount corresponds to the standard filing fee required by USCIS and may be subject to change according to updates in U.S. immigration regulations.
It is essential to remember that U.S. immigration laws are always subject to change. Therefore, we recommend periodically checking the official USCIS website or contacting reliable sources and specialized professionals – without, however, guaranteeing any results – to confirm the fee and conditions in effect at the time of your application. Additionally, be cautious of offers promising easy solutions, as accuracy in information and compliance with legal procedures are essential to avoid complications and potential fraud.
Staying well informed and following official procedures is the best way to ensure a safe experience in compliance with the law.
