Case Summary.

Agnna Varinia Guzman helped a Canadian computer science professional obtain TN status to join a fully remote U.S. technology company. The strategy tackled two tough hurdles - justifying a U.S. work location for a remote-first employer and reclassifying the role to match her degree under a new USCIS policy memo - and paired meticulous documentation with careful port-of-entry planning at a Canadian preclearance airport for an on-the-spot approval.
