Extend TN Status

The Canadian Professional may travel to any port of entry with a new TN Support Letter to apply for an extension. Alternatively, the Employer may request the extension of the TN’s status by filing USCIS form I-129. The TN may continue to work while the TN Extension is pending and may do so for up to 240 days beyond the expiration of the original document.

The Mexican Professional may apply for the extension while in the U.S. and may continue to work for up to 240 days beyond the expiration of the original status. The USCIS will extend the TN status. If the TN travels to Mexico, s/he must visit the U.S. consulate to obtain a new VISA to re-enter the U.S. as a TN.
