Re: A second go at it - L visa application for a second time

Re: Changes in circumstance - what's the deal with H1B visas if I'm already on an L1?

Thanks everyone. Sounds like you all confirmed my suspicions. I'll look into the E-2 visa a bit more, but at first glance I'm not sure it fits what I do too well. :(
