USCIS has clarified that it cannot unilaterally transition TN visa workers to another visa category if the TN program is terminated. However, the agency may consider granting these workers deferred action along with employment authorization to mitigate the impact of any program changes.
Key Details:
- USCIS cannot automatically change TN workers’ visa status if the TN program ends.
- Deferred action could provide temporary relief for affected TN workers.
- Employment authorization may be included with the deferred action status.
- This potential action aims to support workers facing uncertainty due to program changes.
The implications of this clarification could significantly affect TN visa holders, providing them with some level of security if the program is discontinued. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
