Case Summary.

Elizabeth Mavec helped a Canadian designer secure TN status to join a U.S. design firm. When state licensing rules made the architecture category unworkable, she repositioned the case under the interior designer category, mapping the client's architecture training and technical skills to the new role, and prepped her thoroughly for the border interview, resulting in a full three-year approval.
