Waiver regarding TN visa

I'm a Canadian Citizen and have a valid 5 year I192 waiver which is valid for another 1 Year.

I have a job offer in US and they are offering me TN Visa. Can I apply for it at the port of Entry? My waiver approval says B1/B2 Business or Pleasure. Would that get me approval for TN-1 Visa?

I have had clients that under the Trump administration, were told they had to re-apply for "O" visas and get a new waiver with this designation on the Waiver.

The truth is I would drive to a border and ask someone. Its a great question.

Hey CaramelOnTop,

I can relate to the uncertainty of applying for a TN visa, given your unique situation. For something as specific as an assault charge, you'd likely need to file for a "Waiver of Inadmissibility" to enter the U.S. Even then, waivers can be complex and usually require the guidance of an immigration lawyer.

I remember feeling overwhelmed, but found TNWise.com super helpful for my own TN journey. It might not have specifics on waivers, but it covers pretty much everything else you need to know about TN visas.

Best of luck!
