Based on the most helpful WSO content, obtaining a TN Visa during the Trump administration became more challenging, particularly for certain job categories. For example, the "Management Consultant" designation faced increased scrutiny as it was often flagged due to its broad nature. Similarly, the "Economist" category saw stricter interpretations, with roles like financial analysts and marketing specialists no longer qualifying under this designation.

Applicants reported mixed experiences. Some faced rejections or delays due to insufficient documentation, such as not carrying hard copies of required paperwork. Others succeeded after multiple attempts or by ensuring their job descriptions aligned closely with the TN Visa's qualifying professions. Ports of entry like Newark were mentioned as preferred locations for smoother processing.

If you're considering applying, it's crucial to have all documentation in order and be prepared to clearly explain how your role fits the TN Visa criteria.
