Credentials that don't match.
We confirm your degree or license is the one the profession requires, and document it cleanly with evaluations where needed.
Weak or stale employer letters.
We prepare a current, detailed letter covering the role, duties, salary, supervision, and why the position is professional.
"Occupation drift" at renewal.
If your real duties have shifted over time, we address it before it becomes a denial.
Duties that don't clearly match the profession.
A vague or mistitled role is the most common reason for refusal. We draft the case so the work plainly fits a listed USMCA profession.
Dual-intent signals.
Because the TN is non-dual-intent, a pending green card step can jeopardize a renewal or border admission. We time any permanent-residence plans carefully.
