QUESTION: I'm a Canadian with TN visa working in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Can I buy a home here without H1 visa? Is there is any restriction? Thank
you
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
david ingram replies:
You can buy a house with no official visa. The TN, H1, Li, J1. K1, E1. R2,
E5 or any other visa just gives you the right to live there on a full time
basis until the visa runs out.
Remember that a TN visa is supposed to be for a temporary time of less than
one year and if there is a labor turndown, TN and H1 visa holders are
supposed to be the first to be laid off by the US company.
