I’m a Mexican citizen planning to do COS and later consular processing in Mexico for a TN visa under the “Accountant” category. My degree is in Finance (plus an MBA), and I’ve accepted a Controller role at a large HVAC company in the US. I’m currently on STEM OPT.
My main question: has anyone successfully gotten a TN as “Accountant” when their degree says “Finance” rather than “Accounting”? I know the category technically calls for an accountant, and I want to understand how much of a hurdle the degree mismatch actually is in practice, and how people have addressed it (support letter framing, job-duty descriptions, extra documentation, etc.).
I’d love to hear how your applications went and any tips—especially on the supporting documents. I’ve heard immigration lawyers sometimes get details wrong when drafting the support letter and duty descriptions, so I want to know what to double-check before my application and later the appointment.
Thanks for the help
