enquity to start business |
| Question: | |
Hello, I am in USA on L1A Visa and working for the company which sponsored my visa. However I want to start a small online business ALSO while continuing in the Job. My question is 1) Is it Legal, 2) Can I claim expenses of setting up the website in my annual return, 3) Can my Wife, who is on L2 work on this as well without filing an EAD for $340.

Changing Status from B1/B2 to E-3 |
| Question: | |
Hi,
I am in US right now on a b2 visa entered on the 13th of march with my husband for a honeymoon.
Luckily i have found a recruiter who wants to offer me a great job with a handsome salary wanting me to join asap. I have read information about changing status but was a bit confused if i should apply for change of status from B2 to E3 to go to Canada and get a visa stamped or go back to Australia and get a visa stamped.
Plz i need some help with this.
thanks
amy
