Independent, expert-authored opinion letters confirming your job duties and academic qualifications perfectly align with strict USMCA standards for Canadian and Mexican professionals.
A TN Expert Opinion Letter is an independent, expert-authored assessment addressing your temporary position in the United States and your qualifications, prepared in line with USCIS requirements for TN nonimmigrant classification. The letter provides a thorough analysis of the job itself and confirms that it aligns with TN classification criteria, and that you are professionally qualified to fill the role.
The letter provides a detailed breakdown of your job duties and how they meet the requirements for TN classification, an analysis showing the role requires specialized skills and qualifications such as a university degree or professional certification, and a clear explanation of how your education and experience make you a strong fit for the position. Together, these elements give USCIS officers a complete, well-organized picture of both the job and the applicant.
Our letters offer objective, independent assessments demonstrating how both the applicant and the job meet USCIS and NAFTA/USMCA standards. By clearly stating the position requirements and the applicant's fit for the role, the letter is designed to make the review process straightforward for USCIS officers and to give your application the independent professional support it needs to stand on its own.
While our Expert Opinion Letters for H-1B, EB-2, and EB-3 petitions focus on specialty occupation and advanced degree requirements, a TN Expert Opinion Letter is specifically structured around TN nonimmigrant classification criteria under NAFTA/USMCA — including the professional category the position falls under and the applicant's qualification for that specific category. The letter is built around the TN professional list and the standards applied at the border and by USCIS.
A TN Expert Opinion Letter strengthens your case whenever USCIS needs independent confirmation that your position and your qualifications meet TN visa requirements. Below are the most common situations where this letter is needed.
If you are a Canadian or Mexican citizen with a prearranged job offer from a US employer, a TN Expert Opinion Letter provides independent confirmation that your position qualifies under the TN classification and that your background meets the professional requirements for the role. This is particularly valuable for positions where the connection to a specific TN professional category may not be immediately clear from the job title alone.
TN status can be renewed, and an updated Expert Opinion Letter helps confirm that your role and qualifications continue to meet TN requirements at the time of renewal. This is especially useful if your duties or responsibilities have evolved since your original petition, or if your employer's operations have changed in ways that affect how your position is described.
If USCIS has issued an RFE questioning whether your job or your qualifications meet TN classification criteria, a TN Expert Opinion Letter is a vital tool for responding. The letter addresses the specific concerns raised by USCIS in a structured, evidence-based format — offering detailed professional support that a job offer letter or resume alone cannot provide. Our Express plan delivers in 1 to 3 business days, well within most RFE response deadlines.
Employers sponsoring TN professionals benefit from an independent expert letter that confirms the position was properly structured to meet TN classification requirements. This reduces the risk of RFEs, supports a smoother approval process, and demonstrates to USCIS that the employer took professional steps to verify the legitimacy and classification of the role before filing.
Every TN Expert Opinion Letter is built around a detailed analysis of both the position and the applicant, prepared to meet USCIS documentation standards. Here is what every letter contains.
A detailed breakdown of your job duties showing how each core responsibility aligns with the requirements for the specific TN professional classification you are filing under. This section maps your actual day-to-day work directly to the TN category criteria, giving USCIS officers a clear, structured basis for evaluating the position.
An analysis confirming that the role requires specialized skills and qualifications — such as a university degree or professional certification — consistent with TN classification standards. This section directly addresses one of the most common RFE triggers: questions about whether a position is specialized enough to qualify under the TN professional category being claimed.
A clear explanation of how your education and professional experience make you a strong fit for the position, connecting your specific background to the specific requirements of the role. This section demonstrates that you — as an individual — meet the professional standard required for TN classification, not just that the position itself qualifies.
The letter is prepared and signed by a qualified expert, with their credentials and certification included in the document. This gives USCIS reviewers a clear basis for assessing the independence and authority of the opinion. An unsigned or uncredentialed letter carries no weight with USCIS — every letter we deliver meets this standard.
The TN visa allows qualified Canadian and Mexican professionals to work temporarily in the United States in recognized professional categories. Understanding the eligibility requirements and the most common RFE triggers helps you build a stronger petition from the start.
To qualify for a TN visa, applicants must be citizens of Canada or Mexico, hold a prearranged full-time or part-time job offer from a US employer, ensure the position qualifies under one of the recognized TN professional categories, and meet the specific professional qualifications required for that category — typically a university degree or equivalent professional credentials in the relevant field.
USCIS most commonly issues RFEs on TN petitions when the specialized nature of the position is not clearly documented, when the connection between the job title and a recognized TN professional category is not obvious, or when the applicant's qualifications are not clearly matched to the specific requirements of the role. An Expert Opinion Letter addresses all three of these issues directly.
The TN classification is governed by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which replaced NAFTA in 2020. The agreement establishes a list of recognized professional categories and the minimum qualifications required for each. TN visas are uncapped and renewable, making them a practical and cost-effective option for qualified Canadian and Mexican professionals and the US employers who hire them.
A TN Expert Opinion Letter requires documentation of both the job offer and your professional background. Submitting complete documents from the start avoids delays and ensures the most accurate letter possible.
Submit the job offer letter from your sponsoring US employer, detailing the position title, job duties, and terms of employment. This is the primary document our expert uses to analyze how the role aligns with TN classification requirements. The more detailed the job offer letter, the more precise our analysis can be.
Submit your resume or CV detailing your complete education and employment history. This gives our expert a full picture of your professional background and allows them to match your specific qualifications to the requirements of the position and the TN professional category being claimed.
Submit a letter from your previous employer on official company letterhead, detailing your employment dates and job duties. If a letter from a previous employer is unavailable, a letter from a colleague or supervisor who can verify your role is accepted instead.
Submit transcripts and certificates for all relevant educational qualifications, so our expert can confirm how your education supports your qualification for the TN professional category. For most TN categories, a university degree or equivalent credential is required — your educational documents confirm you meet this standard.
If you have already received a Request for Evidence from USCIS, include a copy with your submission. This allows our expert to address the specific concerns raised by USCIS directly in the letter, rather than providing a general opinion that may not fully respond to the issues identified.
All documentation must be provided in English. If any documents are in another language, you can use our certified translation services or provide your own certified translation before submission.
