Hi there, I'm Tygo, currently living in portugal (europe), I would like to move to the United states, alone, specifically Austin Texas, not permanentely (for now) but at least 6 months minimum would be ideal. I work as an online freelancer, in video creation and media specifically, so I can't really get a work visa because I work online by myself and it's not even directly related to the united states, and I can't get a visa based on family or marriage.
If I go as a tourist I believe I can only stay 90 days (the easiest way) or 180 with the tourist visa but I don't know if I'm even allowed to work online with that, so I'm not really sure what to do... I though I heard somewhere that maybe I could go as a tourist and then hire a lawyer that would help me extend my stay for as long as I want, is that a possibility? And if so how much would that cost and where can I search for a lawyer to help me? I'm of course afraid to get scammed when it comes to that.
I just really hope there's a simple option that can allow me to be living in the US let's stay next week, and stay there for at least 6 months, if such thing exists, but I haven't been able to find anything useful. That's all thanks for reading, I look forward to the answers a lot!
