Share experience: Got TN Visa with different degree

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛I got an offer (Java Developer) from a US company. It falls into "Computer Systems Analyst", but I don't have computer degree (my degree is Phd/MS/BA in civil engineering (Japan and China)). However, I have 4-year experience in software development in Canada.

All document I brought to are
1. US Company's letter (To Border Officials)
2. My current company's letter (prove I have 4 year experience in software development in Canada)
3. Resume
4. All degree (original certificates, and origianl English translation issued by universities. Note: all degrees are from China and Japan, I didn't do any "Evaluation" for these degrees)
5. My three Java certificates from SUN.

I went to Rainbow Bridge (Niagara falls), submitted these papers. After a few minutes, the officer called me to enter the room. He only asked one question: " Are you going to work in California?" "Yes." I answered. That's it. Then he returned ALL documents (including the letters) to me and asked me to go outside and pay fee.

Experience: prepare all documents clearly, wear 整齐点的衣服, 不用打领带.

    • One can go to Rainbow Bridge and take the TN visa, then go back immediately right? So no need to quit the job in Canada before actually get the TN. Thanks for sharing your experience.
      • Yes. You should quit AFTER you got TN Visa. That was what I did.
    • Rainbow Bridge is the most difficult site for TN. Avoid it. Peace bridge is better. I brought 1.Passport 2. US Company's letter . 3. Degree Evaluation. Thsoe are mandatory. Others are option.
      • Where is Peace bridge?
        • 3 port of entries in buffalo: Niagara fall, rainbow bridge, peace bridge. Bring all of your documents. Show passport, employer letter and diploma evaluation, these are mandaotry. Then present others only when asked
