The job is administrative in nature and although I've taken some university and college courses I hold no degree in any of the fields listed for a TN1 visa. I am a born and raised Canadian Citizen and I am in a long-distance relationship with an American citizen. I have successfully visited my girlfriend in the United States twice alone and once with family while I was a student. But this past August, after graduating with a bachelor's, I attempted to visit my girlfriend again, but this time for 3-4 months instead of the 2-3 week visits I've done before. I was refused at the border due to several factors. I came with two oversized bags, no return ticket, a non-concrete return date, not enough funds in my bank account to support my trip, no job, no home under my name, and no financial statements. My work is providing an L1 visa, with allows my spouse to enter the USA with an Automatic L2 Visa. Wanted to know what the process is in ensuring he has all eligibility to work in the USA.
