NAFTA (TN Status)
Foreign Students
(F-1 Visa)
Pursuant to the NAFTA treaty, citizens
of Canada and Mexico may travel
to the US for business or pleasure. If coming to work in the United States,
the alien may enter for up to a period of three years at a time in one
of several specifically designated professional positions. There is no
limit on the number of renewals.
Professionals of Canada or Mexico
may work in the
US if (1) they are
citizens of Canada or Mexico; (2) their profession
is on the NAFTA list; (3) they are to work for a US employer (self
employment is not permitted); and (4) they have the qualifications
of the profession.
An F-1 visa holder is a foreign student who is enrolled
in a full-time degree or non-degree academic program in the United States
and who is in good standing. A foreign student must maintain a foreign residence
and demonstrate his or her ability to pay tuition and expenses in the United
States. An F-1 visa is issued for an indefinite period of time (duration of status) and it expires once the student no longer maintains full-time status. F-1 degree students may be eligible for work authorization called practical training.
