Hypothetical example: a Conception Bay South subsea technician is offered a role with an American operator, and the household begins assembling the offer letter and the qualifications. What nobody has mentioned is that eleven years ago he was turned around at a border crossing after a confused conversation about a job he had not yet been offered. That episode exists in a record somewhere, and it will be visible to the officer reading this application. The first task in this household is not the employer's paperwork but the applicant's own history, written down accurately and in order.
The six routes described here answer different questions. TN covers prearranged professional employment for Canadian and Mexican citizens in professions the agreement names. L-1A and L-1B move an existing employee within a company that already spans the border. E-2 belongs to a treaty national who commits capital to an operating American business and directs it. EB-5 is an immigrant investment route carrying a job-creation obligation and a conditional residence period. The Gold Card is a separate official framework built on a gift to the U.S. government. Which one applies is decided by facts about citizenship, employment, ownership and money, and by each applicant's own admissibility.
Choose what brings you here. Leave with a short list of things to discuss—not another long form to fill out.
Both halves have to work: the classification and the person.

Write your history before you write anything else: every previous entry to the United States and its purpose, every application made and its outcome, any occasion when entry was refused, an application was withdrawn, or a question was asked that you could not answer. Include the dates as accurately as you can and note where you are uncertain. Do the same for each adult in the household. A history that is disclosed clearly and consistently is a manageable fact; the same history discovered by an officer from a record the applicant appeared to have forgotten is a much harder conversation.
Meet the people in your cornerPersonal support.
A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.
Every entry, application, refusal or withdrawal, with dates, for each adult in the household.
Uncertainty recorded honestly is workable. A confident wrong date is not.
Employer, duties, ownership, capital and who controls the work, in documents rather than description.
Admissibility and classification are separate questions and a plan needs an answer to each.
Bring that history to a consultation together with the offer. Some earlier events have no continuing effect at all, some require explanation, and a few change which route is realistic. Only a review of the actual facts can tell you which. It is far better to learn this while a start date is still being negotiated than at a border with a resignation already tendered and a household waiting for news.
Find your pathwayShneur Herman, Jo Kubti and Alexander Paton work with Conception Bay South households remotely; there is no office to visit and no local appointment to book. Send the offer or business documents, your written history and a list of what you are unsure about. Consultation arrangements and the scope of the review are agreed in writing beforehand, so it is clear what has been assessed and what remains open.
Let’s connectArrange a remote consultation to discuss your next steps.
Not necessarily. What matters is what actually happened, what record exists and why. It should be established and addressed rather than left unexamined.
Applications and admissions involve direct questions, and answers must be truthful and complete. Prepare the accurate account rather than deciding in the moment.
Where the work is performed matters. Remote work from Canada raises different questions from the same work performed on American soil, and the distinction should be checked for your facts.
No. Consultations are conducted remotely and documents are exchanged electronically.
