TN visa

[canada1]

My husband has a job offer from an American company. He is a Canadian and needs clarification of the Scientific Technician category of the NAFTA agreement which we believe he could qualify under. It appears to be a gray area under NAFTA. He currently holds an L-1B visa for a Canadian company and he will be doing the same job for the TN visa. Should he go back to the port of entry that issued the L-1B where they already have all his information? Am I right to assume that in this day and age of computers that any port could access his information? The closest port to our home is 2 hours there and back and the other port is 2 days there and back.Thanks for any help anyone could give us. We want to do this right the first time!

I do not know the answer to your question.. but I can tell you that most POE will not deal with such immigration matters. They mearly process the paper work that has already been completed by other officers.
