The record should accurately explain the proposed arrangement where those facts are relevant. Describe the US professional duties and the employment terms and clarify the split schedule rather than presenting an inaccurate full-time US presence. Follow the applicable procedure’s evidence instructions.
Keep the offer and schedule consistent
Compare the letter with the employment agreement and any customer assignment. Explain how the applicant will perform the professional work and identify the legal employer. A calendar helps organize facts but does not replace credentials or establish that the activities fit the claimed profession.
TN analysis starts with eligible Canadian or Mexican citizenship, a listed professional occupation, the required qualifications, and a genuine temporary engagement for a US employer. It cannot be used where the applicant is in substance self-employed. A Canadian outside the country may request TN admission through border inspection or preclearance, or the employer may submit an I-129 petition to USCIS when that route fits the facts. Build a document index around the claimed role: citizenship evidence, the qualification record, the employer's support letter, and any licence that the occupation actually needs. Check that dates, compensation, supervisor, worksite, and duties tell one coherent story. A first review often produces a short list of missing links, such as an untranslated transcript, an unsigned letter, or an assignment description that omits the professional task. Correct the source record rather than drafting around the inconsistency. Hypothetical example: A hydrologic-modeling specialist has a degree transcript that names courses but no degree award date. She asks the registrar for the final official record, then has the US employer revise its letter to explain the model-validation work instead of submitting a generic consulting description.
