Assistance! Working in the United states of america - need unrestricted work authorisation?
Hi
I've applied to a job in the United States, and the employer told me that I need a "unrestricted work authorisation for the United states of america" and then I tin proceed to an interview.
I've washed a lot of research on EADs and TN-visas and I'k very confused.
Does anyone know the process?
Thanks

Assuming you lot were built-in in Canada and you don't take a US-born spouse, you're outta luck.
You will need a visa to work in the United states of america.

"Restricted" would mean, for example, a H1-B or a L-1, where the scope of work is limited to what is in the application. These may crave a labour certification awarding.
A TN-1, for all intents and purposes, is equivilant to an 'unrestricted' work authorization.
Would you qualify for a TN-1?

I would quality for a TN-1 yes.
Just I think the potential employer is asking about unrestricted work authorization because he has concerns and would like some sort of assurances that if hired, this will not interfere with my ability to work there. Or possibly just doesn't want to spend extra and work time on a candidate that has i more thing that needs to exist done. Both reasons are definitely understandable.

If they directly-on inquire you about your visa status, you tin't prevarication -- you have to tell them that y'all would obtain, at your expense, a TN-one, which is adept for 3 years, requires no legal expense or LCA (Labour Certification Application) on the part of the employer, and is renewable indefinitely.
Apparently jobs that require citizenship for the purposes of security clearance, you wouldn't even want to utilise for. Particularly, in the armed forces sector, and certain areas of regime IT.
A picayune didactics goes a long ways. Some employers are very sophisticated about visas (ie: the Cisco's and Microsoft's of the earth, who have entire immigration departments). Its the smaller companies that really don't want to exist hiring people who are going to toll them $$$ in immigration lawyers and other expenses that need education concerning the matter.
Every bit for putting your resume on those task websites like Die, Monster, etc., but check off that y'all're eligible to work in the U.s., if, equally you lot say, you can get a TN-1 on-demand (ie: because you are an eligible professional).

going to resurrect this thread walking expressionless mode...
I am in the same situation - looking at jobs in the US that either crave unrestricted authorization to work there, or being asked by their online applications whether I am legally authorized to piece of work in the United states of america and if I would require sponsorship.
My understanding from reading various online things about different visas is that I don't have unrestricted authorization, cause that implies a permanent resident or someone with a greenish card. I would also accept to reply that I am non legally authorized to piece of work in the The states, and that I would require sponsorship. Does anyone have whatever difficult data on what the right way to go about this is?

Mention that you demand a TN Visa which involves a letter and job offer. I even know circumstances where the candidate(due south) helped the employer exercise the TN visa for them. The more the employer is educated in your response the easier it is.
You have to really understand the TN visa to explicate information technology. My 2 cents.
