Applying to a job when you will need visa sponsorship

[Mantequilla 0]

Hello forum,

My wife is thinking about applying for jobs in the US. If she is offered a job, she will need employer sponsorship (really just a letter, I guess) for a TN Visa (NAFTA Mexican Professional Worker). Should she indicate in her cover letter that she would be looking for visa sponsorship? Any related advice greatly appreciated also.

Thanks!

Since the TN visa does not require the employer to sponsor your wife, I wouldn't put it on

Now, the TN visa is non-immigrant, it is not likely she'll be granted one if she is married to a US citzien. Why not spnosor her for a spousal visa?

Good luck

Canadian_Wife,

You're right. The employer only needs to write a letter, its no big deal.

We're not going for a spouse visa because we actually only want to live in the US temporarily. By the time the spouse visa is processed, it will be time for us to move on.

Do you think presenting a letter of acceptance for 2013 for a British University would be enough to show that she does not intent to immigrate?

Thanks!

Personally I don't think the acceptance letter from univ in UK would be any help.

It just an admisison, if she decides not to go to Univ in UK after coming to US.. she is not losing anything nor it is something mandatory that she has to do.

You need to show something more definate reason.

Thanks for the reply, Harsh_77

Would it be any help that she has held a B1/B2 visa for two years, and made five or six short trips to the US, always to return? Should we just forget about the idea?

Were the trips made before you got married or after you got married?

If it is before than they really don't help much but if they are after the marriage than it demnostrates she will not stay in US and file for AOS.

If she already has a valid B1/2 and she just want to stay with you for short time, she can try to enter based on that one.

Aha! The trips were made after we got married, so that may be our ticket. Thanks again.
