The procedures are different for Mexican citizens . Until December 31, 2003, the following rules (which are fairly similar to the H-1B visa process) apply:
· The employer must apply for a TN visa at the Nebraska Service Center, and must present a labor condition application, or if the visa is for a nurse, a labor attestation.
· While Canadians can extend the TN visa indefinitely, TN visas for Mexicans are limited to one year.
· There is also an annual limit of 5,500 TN visas that can be issued to Mexican nationals.
· Mexicans must obtain the TN visa at a US consulate, because they cannot seek one at the border like Canadians can.
After January 1, 2004, the following rules apply to Mexicans:
Mexicans can now apply for a TN visa directly at a US consulate in Mexico and do not need prior approval from US Citizenship and Immigration Services.
There is no longer an annual limit on the number of TN visas that may be issued to Mexicans
Mexicans applying for extensions in the US no longer need to file a Labor Condition Application with their I-129 petition
