Re: mid 20s, single, straight male moving to San Jose... Where should I live??

£2.4k + VAT, but the company paid :D

A small price to pay to get my VISA. Personally, the attitude of the immigration staff was harder to swallow! :thumbdown:

Re: mid 20s, single, straight male moving to San Jose... Where should I live??

Hi all,

Considering the overwhelming support, and despite a fair amount of scepticism and passive-aggressive comments from a small minority of unhelpful individuals (rather disappointingly...

Re: mid 20s, single, straight male moving to San Jose... Where should I live??

Semantics aside, what JRG67 is implying makes perfect sense, and is exactly the avenue I intend to pursue. My 'status' will be an alien granted entry via a visa waiver. Whilst out in the US, I will...

Re: mid 20s, single, straight male moving to San Jose... Where should I live??

Jerseygirl the tone of your posts are always so negative, what happened to a glass half full approach on life??

Re: What if you're a contractor?!

Hi Danny, I think what you need is a B1 in lieu of a H1B. I am a contractor in a similar situation. Read my post and see if your situation is the same as mine:

Re: mid 20s, single, straight male moving to San Jose... Where should I live??

One final point- I must admit now I lied in my initial post. I am 29, not in my mid 20s as I initially claimed. The reason simply put, is because most people in their early 30s (in my social circle)...

Re: mid 20s, single, straight male moving to San Jose... Where should I live??

Well I am pretty downbeat after yesterday's discussion with the US immigration attorney. Long story short, because I run my own Ltd company here in the UK, and my contract is between my company and...

Re: mid 20s, single, straight male moving to San Jose... Where should I live??

You are indeed correct- it was my misunderstanding. Post #30 refers to a link for an individual applying for a B1 in lieu of a H1B, after reading it again it is clear the cap pertains to the H1B...

Re: mid 20s, single, straight male moving to San Jose... Where should I live??

I haven't applied for anything yet; not ESTA or visa. All I have done is conduct research and spoken honestly to the consulate. If they decide there is no visa that allows me to conduct business how...

Re: mid 20s, single, straight male moving to San Jose... Where should I live??

It appears a B1 in lieu of a H1B is slightly different to a B1, has a more regimented application process and affords similar rights to the H1B. Although from the post quoted by jscl (#30) it would...

Re: mid 20s, single, straight male moving to San Jose... Where should I live??

So it appears, as i thought a B1 in lieu of a H1-B allows the individual to WORK in the USA in the same context as a H1B. Please correct me if i am wrong??
