    Default Re: Can a Person on TN Visa Status Get U.S. Permanent Residency

    A TN visa is a non-immigrant visa, which complicates efforts to adjust your status. If you are married to a U.S. citizen, your citizen spouse may petition to adjust your status -- but be careful about timing, as if a petition is filed before you retire you can lose your TN status as a result of that declaration of intent to immigrate.
