Hi Peter,

I'm in US on a TN visa and started a company (no revenue/no employees) to list apps on app store. When I went to renew my TN status, Immigration officer gave me a bit of a hard time saying I needed approval to open this business from Homeland Security. Is this true?


That's not correct but there are issues nonetheless in that the TN does not permit self-employment and further USCIS and CBP oftentimes will deny TN applications where the applicant is a founder or part-owner.


Will CBP give TN applicants a hard time if they are a part-owner with less than a majority share in the company?
