  • How EB-5 Helps NAFTA Professionals Secure Green Cards and a Future for Their Families

The TN visa, created under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), allows qualified professionals from Canada and Mexico to work in the United States. While it provides an excellent opportunity for career growth, the TN visa—like the O-1 or L-1—remains a temporary, non- immigrant status. For many NAFTA professionals, the uncertainty of renewals and the lack of a direct pathway to permanent residency make long-term planning difficult. The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program offers a reliable solution, enabling TN visa holders to secure green cards for themselves and their families.

 

 

✧ Challenges Faced by NAFTA (TN) Visa Holders

While the TN visa is flexible and renewable, it has its limitations:

  • Temporary Nature: The TN visa does not automatically lead to permanent residency, and renewals are subject to continued employment eligibility.
  • Dependent Restrictions: Dependents (TD visa holders) can reside in the S. but face limitations in work authorization.
  • Immigration Backlogs in Other Categories: Transitioning from TN status to employment- based green card categories often involves lengthy wait times.

How EB-5 Benefits NAFTA Professionals

The EB-5 program provides NAFTA professionals with a direct route to permanent residency:

Green Card for the Whole Family

With an investment of $800,000 in a TEA project (or $1,050,000 elsewhere), professionals can apply for permanent residency for themselves, their spouse, and children under 21.

Bypassing Backlogs

EB-5 helps skip the long visa queues tied to employer-sponsored categories.

Self-Petition Flexibility

No employer sponsorship is required, allowing freedom to pursue career and business opportunities.

Education Advantages

Children can benefit from in-state tuition and better access to U.S. universities.

Citizenship Pathway

After five years of permanent residency, families can apply for U.S. citizenship.
