Treat the employment offer and the immigration assessment as separate milestones. Gather passports and relationship records now, but keep relocation commitments flexible until the actual role has been assessed. A technical job title does not guarantee dependent arrangements can proceed.
Do not budget from an assumed second analytical job
If a spouse also works in analytics, their qualification does not confer employment permission through TD. TD permits study but not employment. Compare a separate work route with the household’s ability to live on the principal’s confirmed income rather than assuming both careers can resume immediately.
TD is the dependent status for a TN professional's spouse and unmarried children under twenty-one. TD does not authorize employment, even when the family member signs the project’s confidentiality agreement. Studying alongside a TN job raises separate questions about maintaining the qualifying employment, meeting the school’s admission requirements and undertaking any practical work. The principal’s employer may include families in some events, but a work assignment cannot be assumed permissible merely because it is called training or is unpaid. The employer’s preferred orientation date should be coordinated with the actual lawful basis for the visit or employment, without concealing what the applicant intends to do.
