Based on the most helpful WSO content, here’s what you need to know:

Firms Sponsoring TN Visas:

  • Goldman Sachs (GS): Known for managing the TN visa process well, though there have been cases where visas didn’t pass.
  • Evercore: Actively sponsors TN visas; noted for being a strong option.
  • Moelis: Included in the list of firms sponsoring TN visas.
  • Lazard: Another firm that sponsors TN visas.
  • Barclays: Also mentioned as a sponsor.

General Insights:

  1. Firm Sponsorship Across Offices: While it might seem logical for a firm to sponsor across all offices due to centralized legal setups, this isn’t always the case. Sponsorship policies can vary by office location, role, and even team. It’s best to confirm directly with the specific office or team you’re targeting.

  2. Challenges Post-Trump Era: The TN visa process has become more complicated, with success rates reportedly dropping below 50% for banking analyst applicants. Some firms have even stopped filing TN applications due to the risks involved.

  3. Alternative Strategies: Many individuals on TN visas are attempting to transition to H1-B visas, though this comes with its own challenges, such as the lottery system and stricter requirements.

If you're targeting specific firms or offices, networking and directly inquiring about their sponsorship policies is crucial.
