TN Visa but working remotely from Canada

[Nnickol 0]

I've been offered a 6 month contract converting to permanent in Las Vegas and am getting a TN visa shortly. The arrangement agreed upon with the employer is for me to work remotely from Canada for about 4 months as I sell my house and traveling to Las Vegas as needed. The amount of time spent in Vegas over these 4 months will likely be about a week per month. Is this even possible on a TN visa or would I need to be in Vegas the majority of the time in order to satisfy immigration rules? Thanks for any advice.

No problem with what you propose -- as long as you have TN status before you do your first work in Las Vegas. The problem would be the reverse -- you work in Canada and occasionally in the US and then don't get the TN visa/status for four months (until you're ready to move to the U.S.). That would be working in the U.S. without the proper status. You'll be fine doing it your way.

That's great to hear. Thanks for your reply.
