Abroad Diplomas and TN Visa (merged)

[kris&me 572]

the company will determine if you qualify and they want to hire according to your resume and interiew and no american is available for  that position

the company then applies for the work visa as the lawyers for this type of visa are very expensive

Thank you for the reply,

 

but this is a TN Visa (for Canadian and Mexicans), according what I understood is very simple compare with the H1B that indeed is very expensive. My question is more if the US authorities will be OK with my degrees applying as a Canadian but European degrees.

Yes, a TN visa should be easy and cheap to obtain. You will need to have your foreign degrees properly evaluated by a reputable agency to demonstrate that they're broadly equivalent to the north american versions - see 8 CFR Sec 214.6 (d) (3) (ii). Google "nafta foreign credential evaluation" and take your pick.

 

(and further questions on the process might be more appropriate in the Canadian forum - you'll likely get more relevant responses there).
