Department of State simplifies filing process for Mexican TN professionals

DENVER: In a welcome change, the Department of State will no longer require prior petition approval from CIS for Mexicans applying for professional TN visas under NAFTA.  Mexicans applying for TN visas will now be able to apply directly at a U.S. Consulate or Embassy and following visa issuance apply at a land port-of-entry or airport preflight inspection for admission to the U.S. For more information check this link from the Department of State.
