https://preview.redd.it/r2u9ilh8wdgh1.jpg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5fd125b4df7431519743ce8b0b7a3996f29257ac

Hi everyone!

I'm Arielle Sheinfeld, a U.S. immigration attorney at Manifest Law. As a dual U.S. Canadian citizen, I bring both personal and professional insight into cross border immigration. I help Canadian professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, and businesses navigate employment based immigration, including TN, O-1, EB-1, EB-2 NIW, and employment based green cards.

Many professionals on TN visas focus on securing their next renewal without thinking about the bigger picture. The decisions you make today can have a meaningful impact on your long term immigration options, whether you're considering permanent residence, changing employers, or exploring other employment based pathways.

Whether you're applying for your first TN, renewing your status, or planning your next step, I'm happy to answer your questions and help explain how these pathways generally work.

Happy to discuss:

  • TN visa eligibility and qualifying professions
  • Applying at the border and common documentation questions
  •  Renewals and changing employers
  • Transitioning from TN to permanent residence
  • O-1, EB-1 and EB-2 NIW options for Canadian professionals
  • Long term immigration planning
  • Do's and Dont’s when it comes to a TN
  • How an attorney can be useful

I'll be answering questions July 30, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM ET.
