NAFTA PROFESSIONAL BEING SPONSORED

[portugalpat]

If my husband is a NAFTA professional and receives a job offer while in the process of being sponsored by me, is it going to be a problem to get a visa?

 

[Leon]

Getting a work permit is separate from the sponsorship. He shouldn't have any problems. Just show up with his job offer at the border and get his work permit.

Really? Does the fact that he is Mexican make a difference? They need visas to enter the country usually.

 

[Leon]

Oh, I had assumed he was US. If he needs a visa, he can not apply for a work permit at the border. Instead apply at the embassy where he is.
