Question for TN visa management consulting - can someone share anything about what point do you hand in resignation when you are going on a TN visa? Do you wait for a preliminary approval from the employer? Because these offers are contingent on getting the visa.

Great question, been there. If you are younger in experience and feel there is a risk to your visa, go to border get the visa 2 weeks prior to start date cross border and then resign .. you can always change your start date by a week. Every time I’ve done it (only twice) I’ve quit prior but also I don’t worry about not getting it.

I am trying to play it safe as the offer is not valid if the visa is not approved. Given that it’s for the management consulting category it won’t make sense to resign and wait for visa to get approved. By the way, when the employer files a TN petition for you - can you skip this process?

Only an employer can draft and sign the letter that offers you a TN position. There are two letters, one is your job offer which is different than your TN offer. Your title on the TN letter needs to cross reference your job offer and your experience and education.

I meant can the employer get a confirmation that will make sure that I am actually going to get the TN visa? I would prefer that before I resign

Yes they can file through USCIS and get an approval before you enter the US. Takes 2 weeks if premium filed (~$2k in addition to the standard filing fees), or probably 2-3 months if non premium. Note that in my experience, USCIS adjudications seem to undergo more scrutiny (and “requests for evidence”, which further delay the review process) than just applying at the border. In your case and with the Management Consulting occupation, I’d likely still do the USCIS route so your current job isn’t at risk until you know this is a for sure thing!
