(For Immediate Release) – Nothing divides a room full of politicians like the topic of immigration and now that immigration reform is back on the table, this month will be action packed with heated immigration debates. Not only will politicians be swinging punches, technology leaders from Silicon Valley will be out in full force arguing the importance of immigrant workers in America.

As the tech giants and political machines fight out issues over H-1B limitations or granting work visa for freshly minted graduate students, one of the most underrated topics is a working visa category called TN Status. TN Status or commonly referred to “TN Visa” is a result of a trilateral trade agreement amongst U.S., Canada, and Mexico. This visa category allows professional Canadians and Mexicans to work in the U.S. without the heavy paperwork and quotas associated to other visa classes such as the H-1B.

“We realized that the immigration system is not ideal but the TN Status is great in allowing employers to easily hire qualified Canadian or Mexican candidates,” claims Vance Adams, co-founder of TNVisaSample.com. As part of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) signed in 1994, American, Canadian, and Mexican qualified professionals can work in each other’s countries. Although the TN visa is not permanent and lasts for 3 years, it can be renewed indefinitely and it does not require the rigorous process nor the high legal costs of an H-1B visa. If that is still not enough, there is no quota set for TN visas. Life cannot be this good.

“There is no catch at all but unfortunately this work visa classification lacks the awareness from U.S. companies”, explained Adams, who started his U.S. career on a TN visa before launching TNVisaSample.com. “Not only does it help in recruiting for roles that are difficult to fill, it also retains graduates from American colleges who otherwise would be force to return to their home country.”
