What Is the TN Visa?

The TN (Trade NAFTA) visa, now under the USMCA, allows qualified Mexican nurses to work legally in the U.S. in pre-approved healthcare roles. It’s:

Fast – No lottery, no long wait times.

Renewable – Valid for up to 3 years and can be extended.

Flexible – Ideal for nurses who want to explore U.S. opportunities before pursuing permanent residency.

TN Visa Requirements for Mexican Nurses

To qualify, you must:

Be a Citizen of Mexico

Only citizens of Mexico are eligible for the TN visa under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). You’ll need to present a valid Mexican passport when applying.

Hold a Nursing Degree or Diploma

You must have completed formal nursing education — either a bachelor's degree or a diploma in nursing — from an accredited institution. This proves you meet the professional qualifications required to work as a registered nurse in the U.S.

Have Passed the NCLEX-RN

The NCLEX-RN is the national licensing exam for registered nurses in the United States. Passing this exam is mandatory to practice as an RN and is a key requirement for TN visa eligibility.

Hold a VisaScreen Certificate

The VisaScreen® Certificate, issued by CGFNS International, verifies that your education, license, and English proficiency meet U.S. standards. It’s required for all foreign healthcare professionals entering the U.S. on a TN visa.

Have a Job Offer from a U.S. Healthcare Employer

You must have a written job offer from a U.S. employer for a registered nurse position. Connetics USA provides this as part of our direct hire model, connecting you with top hospitals and healthcare facilities.

Demonstrate English Proficiency (IELTS or TOEFL)

You’ll need to show that you can communicate effectively in English, typically through passing scores on exams like the IELTS or TOEFL. This is also part of the VisaScreen certification process.

It's amazing to think that it's already been 4 months since our move to the US! I want to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to my AMN Connetics Family for their unwavering support since day one. A special shoutout to AMN’s language department for the free English lectures before our exam, the informative monthly seminars via Zoom at the AMN clubhouse, my dedicated case manager, Ma'am Rhea Mendez, and my onboarding specialist, Ms. Alou Brandon, for guiding me through every step of this journey. Your constant support and encouragement have truly meant the world to me and my children. Thank you, AMN Connetics! 🙏🏻🤗... See MoreSee Less

First and foremost, i would like to praise and thank the Lord for all the wonderful blessings. And of course without the great amount of help, support and guidance of Connetics USA Nursing team, my American dream would not be possible. Thank you very much and i really appreciate all your efforts all throughout the process. To my excellent and supportive case specialist Mary Jane Portallo, thank you very much. To my onboarding specialist Indra Abbas for taking time and effort to organize everything before my arrival, thank you, super appreciated.

Me and my family would like to express our sincere appreciation for Connectics USA’s service to us as one of their clients. This is going to be sort of emotional but when something’s helped you achieve a lifetime dream, you don’t hold back on thanking the people who helped you get where you are (still a fair bit to go but at least, we are in Fargo now!).

I had actually started with a different agency in trying to get me and my family into that “American dream”. Unfortunately, it took me a little time to pass the NCLEX that lead to that agency to drop our case because it was taking too much time.

So then I found Connetics USA. I’d like to think it was a birthday gift that I was with them when I finally passed the NCLEX. The road still wasn’t an easy one since I had to take IELTS a couple of times—even more than the NCLEX, before I passed it. The whole process was on hold because it was one of the requirements before we could proceed. Only this time, I was in better hands and Connetics USA really made sure we were going to get to where they promised to bring us.

Apart from the whole Connetics USA team who’s been all patient and kind and accommodating to any kind of questions we had, there were 4 specific people who’ve made a great impact in our journey from the Philippines to the US. and I especially can’t leave them out in this thank you note.

Ms. Jocelyn Butron our Case Specialist – She’s been guiding us since the start. From paper processing, to guiding us on the need to knows and requirements in our embassy interview. It was a tedious process but she’s not missed to extend a hand all the way.
Ms. Indra Abbas our Onboarding Specialist – I know it is her job to help us get through the whole immigrant’s checklist but there were times (a couple and I could go on specifics but I don’t want to make this a 5-pager) she’d go the extra mile to ensure we got to where we need to be safely and we had everything we needed.
Ms. Laurie Tupper our Concierge – Who welcomed us warmly and toured us around so we’d know the whats and wheres. This proved to be very helpful as we realized our move was harder than we thought it to be. The culture’s different, the way they do things here, the groceries, the how tos of the temporary apartment – she’s been so patient with all the queries.

Everyone mentioned above (and others we worked with on Connetics USA) has great work ethic. They are very responsible and reliable, and their willingness to flex is much appreciated by me and my family. They made sure we were heavily equipped before they let us on our own. Actually, even when we’re now settled in, Indra and Laurie still reaches out to check on us. Which is not something you can say about all companies.

Ever since we signed our contract, things have progressed waaay faster than we anticipated and I mean that in a good way. You guys in Connetics USA have provided the highest quality support every family needs on their migration journey and you are quick to resolve any issues that may arise. We really could not have done any of all this without you! Thank you for a favorable first few months of this journey, and we hope you never stop helping families get to their American dreams!

Of course, none of this would be possible without Ms. Tanya freedman, CEO of Connetics USA.

I can’t sing Connetics USA team praises high enough, really.

Cheers to more success stories!🥂

Being an OFW for years I can truly say that Connetics USA is one of the best nursing agencies I came across with. They are reliably supportive all throughout. I appreciate their concern and guidance from day one we got connected and even after me and my family arrived in the US. They are taking care of us holistically, from my work adjustment to our family settling transition. Thank you so much, Ms. Ropegene, Ms. Kim and Ms. Tanya. God bless you all more and more. We will always be grateful on helping us achieve the American dream. 🙇🏻‍♀️💕🙏🏻... See MoreSee Less
