Have you observed any change in practices with respect both visa application processes and admission at the border processes since the Trump administration came into office (e.g. longer delays, higher rate of refusals, extra scrutiny, etc)? I'm thinking about "field practices" rather than material changes to existing regulations. Thanks!

Not really other than applications for admission in TN status seem to have become more difficult and irrational.

As someone on a TN, can you expound a bit on that?

Yeah, as someone also on a TN, I'd love to hear more. I'd also love to know what the renewal process has been like for people that have been in the USA for a while (I've been here for 4 years and am looking to renew next October).

CBP (and USCIS) is just getting tougher on TNs, sometimes applying standards/requirements that don't exist, and really gives no deference anymore to the issuance of a previous TN when the TN is being "renewed."

Is this strictly for founders/owners or for ordinary employees too?

Does the category (e.g. Engineer vs Computer Systems Analyst) matter?
