I work in tech in business development so I'm not sure my skill set would be something that a U.S employer couldn't already get from a employing a local. I'm not interested in marrying a girl I've just met. Is it better to start a company (which may take years to take off) or is it a case of getting an international transfer through an L1 visa after working for a big company for a year?
If you are looking for an ethical way to obtain a visa in the U.S. as a UK expat in the tech industry, here are a few options to consider:
1)If you work for a multinational company that has a presence in the U.S., you may be eligible for an L-1 visa.
2)H-1B visa is designed for foreign workers in specialty occupations that are in high demand and not readily available among U.S. workers.
3)O-1 visa is for individuals with extraordinary ability or achievement in their field, including science, business, education, or the arts.
4)If you have exceptional abilities, you may be eligible for an employment-based immigrant visa, such as the EB-1 or EB-2 category.
