TN Visa for Mexican National (please help?)

Post by gmexicrown » Thu Apr 01, 2010 11:54 pm

Hey everyone, found these forums via Google, hope you guys can help me.

Background:

I use to work for Company #1 , this company had Operations on both sides of the border (US and Mexico), I work on the Mexican side. A lot of our activities require us going to the US side for several weeks and some times even months, hence Company #1 decided to get us the L1 visa.

A few months ago, Company #1 decided to sell their operations in Mexico to Company #2.

Now, company #2 is a gigantic company, and they also have operations in the US. We still need to continue traveling across the border almost on a daily basis, of course this will eventually become a problem and we could lose our Tourist visas.

The buyout occurred only 3 months ago, and I believe in order to apply for an L1 visa, you need to be working for the company at least 1 year. And this is what they told us when we requested Visas.

I immediately thought about the TN option, but I know very little about it.

Our purpose:

1.- To be able to cross on a daily basis to the US to perform activities for our work. (Use equipment, business trips, etc).
2.- We will not be paid in the US, our payroll is in Mexico and we pay Taxes in Mexico.
3.- Company #2 has only been established for 3 months, although its parent company already has many operations around Mexico, the US and around the globe. They are super huge.

Do you guys think the TN can be obtain for this?
What other option do we have in order not to risk our tourist visas?

Thanks everyone for the help, and I hope this isn't too confusing.

regards,

g
