USCIS Issues Memo on TN Nonimmigrant Economists

USCIS issued a policy memorandum clarifying that for an applicant to qualify for TN status based on work in the profession of economist, the applicant must engage in activities consistent with the profession of economist. Activities that constitute a broad range of other professions related to economics, such as activity performed by financial analysts, market research analysts, and marketing specialists do not qualify for TN status. This guidance is effective immediately.
