B.C. woman detained for incomplete Trade NAFTA visa application

Jasmine Mooney, a woman from British Columbia, was detained at the U.S. border due to an incomplete application for her Trade NAFTA (TN) work visa. This visa allows Canadian and Mexican citizens to work in the U.S. in specific professions. The TN visa is valid for three years and can be extended. Eligible professions include architects, engineers, and doctors, among others. Applicants must have a job offer from a U.S. employer and present required documentation at the border. A TN visa can be revoked if the job no longer exists or if there are compliance issues. In Mooney's case, it remains unclear why she was detained instead of simply denied entry.
