EB-2 is not a visa status (most of the 20000 MS+ in STEM are EB-2, so they are included in my count). Not sure what TN is.

TN is for NAFTA professionals, and has similar qualification requirements as an H1-B. The biggest difference is the employer doesn't have to sponsor, and it's a non-immigrant status. (I'm in the US on a TN status.)
