There's an interesting Q&A on a US Immigration Attorney's web site which responds to a Canadian's concern about whether or not he would be eligible for a TN 1 Visa even though he has a criminal record. You can read it here: Eligibility for TN Visa Status with Valid Waiver
For those who didn't know. A TN 1 Visa is suited for:
- Canadian citizens with a bachelors degree and a job offer from a U.S. company
- Canadian citizens in specialized occupations, such as scientists, engineers, programmers, research assistants, management consultants, social workers, and accountants
- Canadian medical and allied personnel including dentists, dietitians, laboratory technologists, nutritionist, pharmacist, physical therapist, psychologist, registered nurses and veterinarians
- Canadian companies to transfer employees to their U.S. parent, branch, subsidiary or affiliate without the 1 year foreign employment requirement in the case of
L-1 visa - U.S. companies to bring in qualified Canadian professionals for jobs that require a bachelors degree and specialized skills

After reading this post and subsequestly Q and A from Wesite...does it mean that TN visa is possible with proper waiver with outlined conditions ?
Has any one done this actually ?
Let's say with normal waiver for business and visits ..Can someone take a contract of 6 months under TN with valid waiver ( 1 year waiver )?
