Topic: 请问签TN需不需要特殊的offer,或者其他文件。本人是材料的博士，去美国一个小公司做研究。公司给了一个offer. 仅是三页纸，老板签了个字，现在拿到加拿大护照，再加上学位证是不是就可以了。想先用TN把工作先干起来，十月份再转H1B。请有经验的指点一下，先谢了。 @安省华人论坛:安省枫下论坛 The Rolia Forum of Ontario

请问你签了TNVISA了吗？我老公也得到了一个美国的OFFER，但是似乎他的专业并不特别符合TN LIST上的那些人才，所以挺害怕的 -ppl(皮皮鲁); 2009-7-5 (#5395112@0)

I will fly to Chicago to try TN visa on site. What I learnt from this website is to ask the manager to put a little more details of job duties. The duty require some expectise. I am quite new to this question. My information is just for discussion. -panhl(pan); 2009-7-5 (#5395162@0)

Is the Empolyment letter the same as the offer letter? Thanks! -panhl(pan); 2009-7-6 (#5395493@0)

No way. You should get TN at Toronto airport or border. -zdq(zdq); 2009-7-6 (#5395771@0)

拿到offer不容易。你老公这种情况，为避免万一在边境被签证人员screw，建议取得公司融通，严格按照NAFTA文件的Schedule II自己动手写TN Petition Letter，着重于职位头衔与职责描述的用词用语。 -t1n1(T1N1); 2009-7-6 (#5396471@0)

TN petition letter 要工司签名吧? Title, e.g. Systems Analyst 一定要更NAFTA 规定的一摸一样吗? -into(into); 2009-7-6 (#5397319@0)

I think so. Here is a reply from lawyer. I strongly advise against using the standard offer letter (from company to you) for the TN. It is best, to use a TN supporting letter (from company to U.S. Customs & Border Protection). -panhl(pan); 2009-7-6 (#5397335@0)

兄弟，我只是好心，不是我对TN懂得特别多。你一提到律师（公司的移民律师也好自己找的律师也好），我觉得你已陷入误区。你想想看，律师有可能比我们自己对职务头衔，职责范围及公司情况了解更多吗？我相信大部分律师写出的信是标准格式千篇一律。律师只在乎是否有打字及收费错误。

DIY的效力同律师开出的信是一模一样的。自己可以针对公司给你的 job offer，自己再slightly modify成Petition Letter，无非是抬头给美国海关，变通下职务头衔及职责范围（要是原有的模棱两可）。要是公司同意你自己写，你又替公司省钱了，又给了自己flexibility，何乐而不为？

当然从理论上说，律师的英文措词要比我们强。 -t1n1(T1N1); 2009-7-7 {318} (#5398473@0)

Thanks a lot for your kindness. But the company decided to use the lawyer. I have Emailed them to say I can write the letter. But the manager asked the lawyer to do that since they have done the H1b petition for me already.The company has a good relationship with them. I have the H1b approved already but it only can be used on Oct 1st with my Chinese passport. Thanks again. -panhl(pan); 2009-7-12 {153} (#5411572@0)

哪里，哪里，兄弟您太客气了。ROLIA本来就是为同为华人的我们提供一个友善互助的平台。小公司通常更愿意为员工着想，您有博士学位，以后若有兴趣申请美国绿卡，走EB-1更是水到渠成。说实在话，到了美国后碰到绿卡事，我才悔悟到“学位用时方恨低”。 -t1n1(T1N1); 2009-7-13 (#5413532@0)

什么叫EB-1？烦请指点一下。我知道o1是很快能拿到绿卡的，我一个同学仅花了半年，真是神速。 -panhl(pan); 2009-7-19 (#5428027@0)

Just for information. The charge is $900. My manager want try at first but give up later. -panhl(pan); 2009-7-12 (#5411575@0)

your company is so cheap. my company pay $1200 for TN and lots of more for H1B for each (for all foreign employees) to lawyer -freener(合适); 2009-7-12 (#5411835@0)

ha ha ha ha ... 兄弟你的嘴巴也太快了些。我上班的公司更cheaper，公司刚形成一口头规定，从今起所有的移民事项（TN，H1，乃至绿卡）一律DIY。有疑惑者，向某某人咨询，自行付咨询费；有因此而被某某人误导者，公司概不负责。 -t1n1(T1N1); 2009-7-13 (#5413535@0)
他们有长期关系。多了可以打折扣把。 -panhl(pan); 2009-7-19 (#5428031@0)

Sorry. I may misunderstand. I am not sure. Maybe the letter from company to US Customs & Border Protection is petition letter on behalf of you or can be used as a supporting letter for you. -panhl(pan); 2009-7-6 (#5397349@0)
我们一起过遍TN VISA DUMMY 101：To have a more favorable chance of having your passport stamped TN Status at a US border, you are strongly encouraged to prepare TN Petition Letter yourself and email it in WORD format to your employer for signature. -t1n1(T1N1); 2009-7-7 {1247} (#5398465@0)

老公今天收到美国雇主的一封EMPLOYMENT LETTER，没有其他DOCUMENT，他想向他们要一封TN PETITION LETTER，对方没有给任何答复，这个LETTER我们自己写行吗？ -ppl(皮皮鲁); 2009-7-8 (#5403446@0)

自己写，让雇主签字。雇主不知道信的要求，请律师还要花钱。 -guest1(guest); 2009-7-8 (#5403673@0)
只要你的雇主信的内容满足要求就可以了，不必要求另外的什么 TN Letter。 -happpyfuture(ED); 2009-7-8 {1316} (#5403712@0)
最基本的要求就是。第一，工资水平。第二，雇用时间，一年，两年或三年。第三，工作职务和内容。其他的都是锦上添花，画蛇添足，无足轻重。你好好地研究一下你的老板给你的 Offer Letter 是不是包括这些。是的话，没有问题了 -happpyfuture(ED); 2009-7-8 (#5403735@0)
完全赞同future所言。Offer Letter/Employment Letter/TN Petition Letter (Petition 无非是法律用语）本来就是same shit，只要体现有Temporary (12个月36个月...)字样和符合ＴＮ的头衔及与头衔相应的职责应该就行了。但相信所言不适用于所有人的case，比如本人真正的 -t1n1(T1N1); 2009-7-9 {757} (#5404063@0)

兄弟，这里不是隔壁的“悠悠”啊，该严肃时还是严肃一些。人在屋檐下，眼睛盯着VO手中的地瓜章，你说咋回答？下回你去border时，若有相类似的问题，你可以试下这一答案："Oh, buddy, I believe I have started liking you already. You are asking the right person. A fashion model? A fashion model is basically a chick who knows where to place a fancy piece of cloth on the fancy parts of her body in a professional manner." （没有黄的意思，只是中性的）

回来后向众兄弟汇报下你的答题效果。 -t1n1(T1N1); 2009-7-9 {320} (#5405668@0)
