Are you planning to marry?

wolviebloodlust

yes we are but until we can i was hoping there is a way that part of the year at least i can spend there while still working here with the time difference means id be working night shifts when in the US but the things we do for love lol

Who pays you and where the work ends up is irrelevant for legal purposes. If you perform work whilst in the US, you MUST have an applicable visa.

It is illegal to work in the US without the proper work authorization and what you are proposing does not qualify as it stands. You could, however, do it if you were married and a green card holder.

Would you get away with it? Now that's another debate, but do you really want to risk a future by chancing it?

wolviebloodlust

no wouldnt want to risk it thats for sure my future's with her so im not going to risk that

wolviebloodlust

i just think it shouldnt matter were i work as long as i can support my self im not a burden on the state and if need be pay taxes in two countries lol

Is it legal to go on vacation and work while on vacation? Many people do these days. People get their work phones enabled for international travel while going on vacation. People take their laptops on vacation and check their work emails. I am not condoning that you do it. I'm just saying a lot of people do. The world has not yet caught up with remote working.

Thats why places like the US lose millions in tax payers dollars because the people doing work on US based equipment are US tax payers.

When you have married and eventually become a US citizen you can bring your beliefs to the attention of your elected representatives. In the meantime, their country, their rules.

Don't waste your time, they never listen to the smart people.

Hoping to organise a BE group buy, still gives me a chuckle every time I drive by one.

It would be a bit comical if they opened one up in Wanker's Corner. That place name always gives me a chuckle when they mention it on the radio/TV with such a straight face.
