I've applied for a Full-time Accounting position in the States so I'm wondering if a TN visa would work for that or if I need another type of work visa. The only issue with my getting a TN visa would be that I don't have an Accounting degree yet though I'm currently working on it. Also the employer is wondering what paperwork they would need to fill out.

If you could help answer that I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Work visas require bachelors degrees.

TN visa i'm not sure if it is accepted for accounting without a degree, You get a TN visa on entry to the USA at the border.

Have a look at the requirements for the TN visa and look at the job requirements it lists.

Something the Employer needs to discuss with their Immigration Lawyer.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

The requirements are a baccalaureate or licenciatura Degree; or CPA (US), or CA, CGA, or CMA. A degree is not absolutely required, although you may get hassled a bit more without one. If you qualify based on one of the other criteria, I advise calling ahead of time to the border crossing/airport you intend to use and ask if they have a NAFTA specialist and what hours they usually work. If you can't get that info - try to cross during regular business hours. It's usually easy to get that information from a land border, and not so easy from an airport.

What is more important is the US position offered to you has to be a CPA or equivalent. It can't be a clerical/support type of position. The job title they put in the offer letter is very important as CBP are very picky about these kind of details.

The employer's use of an attorney is optional. Unless they are familiar with Tn's they are just a likely to screw it up as not.
