I am applying for TN status to work for a U.S. employer. Am I allowed to pay the government filing fees and attorney fees myself?

Answer

Generally, yes. Unlike the H1B category, the TN classification does not have special immigration provisions that ordinarily require the employer to pay specified filing and attorney fees. Any repayment arrangement or payroll deduction still must comply with applicable employment and wage laws. (29.Sep.2026)
