The TN Visa Border Interview – An Important Step so Avoid Making Mistakes

You may think that just because you’ve received a job offer, and meet the criteria for a TN Visa, you would not have any problem at the Border Interview. Some people do not realize there is an informal border interview because it is rarely spoken about. This is where a lot of applicants make mistakes, and get rejected. They take the interview too lightly and are not prepared for it.

The TN Visa Border Interview is in fact one of the most important aspects of your application. Underestimating it could cause you an entry into the United States.

Things to Be Aware of During Your Border Interview

Interview is Subjective

This is a simple fact that is most often ignored. Interviews are subjective, because they are conducted by a person. No matter how logical an immigration officer is, he is still a human being, and therefore the impression you create will play a role in how the officer perceives you.

Interviews are becoming difficult. Particularly after 9/11 and various other terrorism threats, immigration officers have been scrutinizing TN Visa Applications more closely. Even if you meet all the requirements, if the officer deems you a risk to the nation’s security or suspects your application is not correctly showing how you and the job meet the requirements, then you may be denied the visa.

Treat it like a formal interview

This is not just a casual chat. Make sure you understand that. This is a formal interview, and the immigration officer conducting it has the power to grant or deny you the entry.

The way you behave, the way you dress, the way you talk to the officer – all of it will have an impact on the impression you make.

Ensure You Have Correct Documentation

The letter of employment which entitles you to apply for the TN Visa is a key document. You will also need correctly completed application, and any other documentation (affidavits etc.) based on your circumstances. Ensure everything is prepared accurately and completely.

Understand Your Status under NAFTA and TN VISA

Being informed of the current NAFTA and TN Visa rules and regulations is essential. Make sure that the job on the basis of which you are applying for the TN Visa is included in the NAFTA’s TN Visa Categories. Variations in job descriptions, such as a computer programmer position versus a systems analyst position could make a difference between an acceptance and a denial. Consider your job carefully, and ensure that it is described correctly. Our TN Visa Application Kit can help you with it as it provides step by step instructions, sample letters and border interview preparation details.

Prepare In Advance for the Interview

Know the questions you will be asked in advance, and rehearse them. Be consistent with your answers. Don’t get nervous, or you will make mistakes. Don’t get caught out by not being able to answer any of the questions. Prepare thoroughly and well.

Create a TN Visa Application Letter for your NAFTA job, and be informed of the TN Visa, the TN Application Process and your legal rights, which will prepare you for your border interview. Our TN Visa Application Kit has been verified by lawyers, so that you can prepare your application with accurate and precise guidance.

Same Sex Marriage: Adjustment of Status Interview Tips

The approval of your Adjustment of Status depends largely on the success of your Adjustment of Status interview. While these interviews are always subjective, they can be particularly difficult for applicants in the same sex marriage.

A key issue that U.S. government faces with any marriage visa application is whether or not the relationship is fraudulent. This applies to gay marriage too and is a known red flag. If not correctly addressed in your application and during the interview, it can lead to delays and a possible denial.

The U.S. Government does not want you marrying a same sex friend just to get a green card. Below tips will aid you in giving a successful interview for your Adjustment of Status application:

1. Family and Friends Involvement

If your family and friends are an active part of your life, it will prove advantageous in proving that your relationship is genuine. You can provide photos of your wedding, with friends and family present, as evidence of your marriage. These people can eradicate one of the strongest concerns the U.S. Immigration has: that your relationship is not fraudulent.

  2.   Joint Assets and/or Finances

Shared assets and finances are also a good indicator of a genuine and strong relationship. In particular providing specific documents showing proof of joint assets or finances shows that your intention to be together is based on a solid foundation and that it is not merely for the visa application.

 3.    Be Prepared

Ensure you take all required forms, a copy of your already submitted application, and originals of any copies you have submitted with you to the interview. Incomplete or insufficient documentation is one of the key reasons for delays with visa applications. Make sure all your documents are prepared well, and organised in a way that would make your interviewing officer’s life easier, and it will avoid you a lot of hassle and aggravation.

5.  Follow Basic Interview Protocol

When it comes to an interview of any kind, some things are standard. Be on time, or better yet early. Look clean and respectable. Be organised, and answer all questions with politeness.

Any visa interview can be an intimidating experience, but if you follow these tips, you will be better prepared to handle the situation. As you are applying for Adjustment of Status, you would be already living in the U.S., and therefore hopefully are better used to dealing with the language and culture of the country, which will help you in the interview. However, if there is a particularly complicated situation in your case then contact us at info@tnvisaexpert.com to see how we can help.

What Can Go Wrong With Your Adjustment of Status

If you have entered the US legally, you may be permitted to apply for Adjustment of Status which enables you to receive a green card (permanent residence). Adjustment of Status allows you to change your immigration status without having to leave the U.S. If you are eligible for it, you would not have to go through the immigration application through a consulate in a foreign country.

You would have to fit into a specific immigration category, such as petition filed by a spouse, by a family member, asylum, batter spouse or through your employer. There are various other immigration categories which may enable you to become a green card holder.

However, like anything to do with immigration, things don’t always go according to plan. Even though you may think you are eligible and have done everything correctly to apply for Adjustment of Status, things could go wrong.

According to the USCIS reports, about 30% of applications are delayed or denied¹. Some of the common reasons for these delays and denials include:

• Missing USCIS forms
• Submission of incorrect USCIS forms
• Submission of incomplete USCIS forms
• Lack of supporting documents
• Failing to provide accurately, and officially translated documents
• You entered the country illegally
• You committed a crime or fraud while in the U.S.
• You entered the U.S. in transit without a visa
• You entered the U.S. on K1 Visa but failed to marry within the 90 days
• You entered the U.S. under the Visa Waiver and are not an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen

If your application for Adjustment of Status is denied, you will be informed of your rights to appeal. An appeal is not always possible, but if you are eligible for appeal, you will have to do so within 30 days of your receipt of your denial.  If you have any doubts about your eligibility, it’s better to make sure before you apply, and get the right assistance, as denials rarely turn into acceptance.

Our Visa Streamline Service can help smooth the entire process for you, and guide you through every step of the Adjustment of Status process.  You can create a free trial account and get started now.  If you want more information, contact us at info@tnvisaexpert.com
