Does a letter saying the employer is interested establish TN eligibility?

THE DIRECT ANSWER

Not by itself. Clarify the actual prearranged employment and professional duties. An expression of interest may not state the arrangement needed for assessment.

Identify the missing terms

Explain the employer, expected period and remuneration accurately. Do not turn a possible opportunity into a completed offer by rewriting the summary.

The transcript request and the employer's rewritten letter are the slow items; a college may take weeks to issue official transcripts, and a distributor's human resources team may need time to name a supervising engineer and revise a title. TN eligibility still turns on Canadian or Mexican citizenship, a listed USMCA profession, its stated qualification and prearranged U.S. work; document reissuance cannot convert unrelated education into the right credential. Officers compare the duties described against the listed profession, and a letter about brand standards, revenue targets and cross-property projects can read as a general management job rather than hotel management. The USMCA entry requires three years of hotel or restaurant management experience but does not state that those years must follow the diploma, so document the complete qualifying period rather than imposing an extra sequencing rule.
