Peaceful Protest Hasn’t Worked and Has Been Met With Aggression.
For those seeking to work in the US on a TN visa, how should they answer the question “Do you require sponsorship to work in the US?” I imagine the intent of this question is to target people who need H1-B sponsorship. As far as a I know, all that an employer needs to do for TN is sign a form (doesn’t need to get lawyers involved or pay fees). It’s unclear to me if signing this form counts as “sponsorship.” EDIT: In response to some comments, the reason for my confusion is that many (all that I’ve seen) of the legal websites say TN does not require sponsorship in the traditional sense. Here are a few of them: “Unlike the H-1B visa, the TN visa doesn’t require sponsorship or petition by an employer.” https://www.bridge.legal/blog/tn-visa-qualifications-concerns “A TN visa is not considered formal sponsorship” https://rjimmigrationlaw.com/resources/does-a-tn-visa-require-sponsorship/ “Does a TN visa require sponsorship? The short answer no (at least not in the way that we typically view what sponsorship means -eg. H-1B or a Green Card)” https://legalservicesincorporated.com/immigration/does-my-employer-have-to-sponsor-me-for-a-tn-visa-does-a-tn-visa-require-sponsorship/ #tn #workvisa #h1b
The answer is yes.
yes the question ask now or in future, TN is temporary, answer No is misrerepresentation
What if you don’t intend to seek permanent residence? It’s not misrepresentation then
I am in recruiting, the question is phrased in such a way that if you need visa, answer must be Yes. The exact question is: Do you now or in the future need sponsorship, the only possible No is if you are PR, citizen or have right of abode (Native Indians etc), TN is a form of sponsorship because you cannot go to US without an employer endorsing you and you cannot change employment at will, it is temporary by nature, we have caught those misrepresentations before, don't let your potential employers do this to you, being honest is the minimum to be expected from a candidate
You can answer Yes to that question and also Yes to “Do you have authorization to work in the US?”. You can then explain to recruiters how TN visa works.
Thanks, I’m just worried about being auto-rejected by some system that’s coded to think that “yes” means “H1-B”
So honestly, you can even answer no. If you have I-140, no is an acceptable answer. Most companies in the Bay Area don’t even care about work authorization if they can find the right fit.
The answer is Yes. TN person here and that's how I was told to answer the question, and I think it's totally make sense to answer Yes.
The correct answer is No. But your company may willingly hire a lawyer to do the paperwork on behalf and get it pre-approved by USCIS through premium processing which costs money. (Source - I’m on TN). Or the other option is to submit TN application at designated port of entry on your own which is much riskier
