Elcupacabras, thanks for your input. The information you have given is excellent, but leaves me with a few more questions. The main question I have is how do I, as an IT consultant, take on work in the USA? This question all stemmed from a friend of mine telling me that there is no way for a UK...

I am looking for help on a few question regard visa requirements for USA. I am a UK Citizen and have a UK Company that does IT Consultation work around the world. I am the only person in the company and the work involves implementing solutions which require highly specialized knowledge. Each...

So basically my friend was just talking nonsense? I did not really buy that there was no way to do this, thank you for your reply GotPR? Now it looks like as business picks up I will need to apply for a B visa at some point, so I will go sniff around that forum.... Great site BTW.

Ok, I am not sure where to post this, so I am going to try it here. If I am in the wrong Forum, please tell me which forum I should try. Here is my issue, and I am very confused on this. I am an IT Consultant, who specializes in a very particular piece of software. I implement it all over the...

Here is the scenario: I have just accepted a position with Company A, who will be applying for an H-1 for me. I have been asked by Company B to do some consulting work for them, which will be billed out from my present company in the UK. By my understanding, there is no problem with doing...

Thank you Triple Citizen.

I am not sure that I am posting this thread in the right place, but I wanted to see if anyone can help me check on something. I am a UK Passport holder. I work as a consultant, and have some work coming up in the USA. It is likely that this work will take about 4 months. Is there anything...

Taken in the context I outlined it makes perfect sense. What do I need to do to be able to live in the USA, if all of my earning are outside the USA. I will be based in the USA and do short term contracts abroad.

I am a UK Citizen, looking to move to the USA. I lived their previously under an L-1 Visa, but once I left that company I was forced to leave the USA. Now I would like to return and wanted advice on a few options. I am planning on working as an IT Consultant. A lot of the work will be abroad...

I have an L-1 permit and a Visa to get into the USA. I am currently abroad and I suspect not long after I return to the USA I will be laid off. Is it possible to come into the country and the visa waiver program instead of using my visa? Will I have problems at the border? If I come under the...

In the case of an L-1A the manager can also be a manager of process, without the ability to hire and fire, is this not the case for GC?

I know that in applying for an L1-A a manager can be defined as a manager of processes as well as people. If I am a manager of processes, can I still apply for a GC without job certification?

Seems a bit silly to reply to my own message, but from reading other threads I think I am right in stating that this would not be ok... I assume that once my application is in for GC my status is set to pending. My L1 becomes invalid if my job changes unless the 129 is filed and approved for the...

L1 - Change Job - Green Card I am currently on an L1-A. Is it possible to apply for the Green Card while I have my current positions and then once the application has been received but is still pending approval, change my position to a different kind of manager? Or would I need to file a new...

Thanks for the quick reply. Is 7 years the max?

What is the maximum amount of time an L1A can be extended. I originally got 3 years and then it was extended for another 2, now the company wiched to extend it another 2, is this possible?

You rock, thank you.

Thank you thank you thank you..... And the company has to fill in the 129 right?

I am now confused. They applied for an L1-A status for me using their L1 Blanket petition. So what are the rules?
