UPDATE: AILA CONFIRMS NO NEW POLICY CHANGE FOR TN-1 ADVANCE PRACTICE NURSES

Yesterday we posted about a new problem, US CBP officers were denying advance practice nurses’ applications for TN-1 visas.  The reports said that at least one US CBP officer was quoting a “change in policy”.  AILA has now confirmed that there is no policy change.  The law remains:  advance practice nurses qualify for TN-1 visas.

In our blog post, we called on US CBP quickly to clarify whether there was or was not a policy change. To this extent, US CBP acted swiftly and should be commended for their quick action.
