布什总统于2007年8月11日发布行政命令推动移民制度改革,TN visa 的最长逗留时间将由一年延长为三年。
Comprehensive Immigration Reform
* 20. The Department Of Homeland Security Will Extend The Visa Term For Professional Workers From Canada And Mexico To Attract More Of These Talented Workers To The United States. The United States must compete for foreign professional workers, and those who elect to lend their talents to the U.S. economy should be welcomed with open arms, not given a bureaucratic runaround. Yet the roughly 65,000 workers who enter the United States each year on the TN visa must go to the trouble of renewing their visa every year. This regulation will extend the TN visa duration to three years ? the same term as other popular professional visas.
