TN Visa Case Info.

Background:

The applicant was a citizen of Canada seeking his first TN.

TN Category:

Computer Systems Analyst

Job title / duties:

Systems Engineer – Data Center. The position involved the analysis, design, implementation, and support of Cisco Data Center systems and related technologies. The challenge here was establishing that the position offered fell under the Computer Systems Analyst TN category.

Anytime a position’s job title does not exactly match the TN category, immigration officers are likely to contest eligibility. To make the case for a TN here, we included in the application research to support (1) that the position’s job duties were consistent with those of a Systems Analyst; and (2) that Systems Analysts went by a variety of job titles including Systems Engineer.
